Welcome!

I am a philosopher specializing in philosophy of science and epistemology.

I am professor of philosophy at the University of Iceland, and I also have a part-time position as professor II at the Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences (Høgskolen i Innlandet). I did my Ph.D. at UNC Chapel Hill and have been a postdoc at University College Dublin.

Most of my research concerns issues at the intersection of philosophy of science and epistemology, and related parts of philosophy of logic. I've written on scientific progress, understanding in science, inference to the best explanation, scientific realism, scientific disagreement and the social epistemology of science. And some other things.

Please visit my research page for more information, and my papers page for links and detailed descriptions.
