Hi, I'm Alex.

I am a New Frontiers Fellow in the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton. I work in logic across mathematics, informatics, and philosophy.

I am also an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at University College London.

I am accepting PhD students.

Research Theme: My work explores the philosophical foundations of reasoning and their significance for AI and society. I am especially interested in the intersection of logic, language, and mind.

Outreach: I’m committed to making logic accessible to broader audiences through science writing and public engagement.

MMAth, PhD, MIMA, Associate Member London Mathematical Society.

Interests and Projects

I am interested in all areas of logic and its applications, but I am currently concentrating on the following:

Explainable and Responsible AI — philosophical foundations of interpretability, agency, and governance.
Theories of Meaning — inferentialism, proof-theoretic semantics, and the relation between meaning and use.
Logic and Reasoning — the structure of inference in human and artificial thought.
Philosophy of Language and Mind — meaning, understanding, and the cognitive basis of reasoning.
Knowledge, Policy, and Cybersecurity — logic-based frameworks for trust, responsibility, and regulation in AI systems.

I organize the Symposium on Proof-theoretic Semantics
