Hi,

I'm a doctoral candidate at the UMD Philosophy Department. My most recent work tackles questions in core epistemology and philosophy of normativity drawing on formal methods (primarily, logic). Before coming to UMD, I did an MA in philosophy in my home country Latvia---here's where it is---and an MSc in logic at ILLC, Amsterdam.
