I've studied political science, statistics, sociology, cognitive science and philosophy. My main areas of interest are metaphysics, philosophy of science and philosophy of mind. Other interests are politics, music, scooters (old Lambrettas and Vespas), true crime and movies. I'm currently employed as a Senior Lecturer at Lund University. My teaching mainly involves formal logic, metalogic, philosophy of science, metaphysics and philosophical methods. My research is currently focused on metaphysical explanation and the notion of grounding. For more information, please visit https://metaphysicalexplanation.wordpress.com/
Education: I have a bachelor in political science and a PhD in philosophy. I've also studied journalism, but never bothered to get a degree.
