I am interested in ontology particularly in how it appears in epistemic practices. My own particular area of interest is in scientific epistemology. My research at the moment is focused on the Large Hadron Collider and the developments of methodology from my study of this object to be used in other forms of epistemic interrogations. I am also interested in interrogating the very essence of scientificity and the analytical difference between science and pseudo-science. Hence, I am also interested in developments in the area of ethnoscience and how an understanding of the epistemology in this field can inform our understanding of 'canonical' and 'established' facts. On a secondary level, I am also interested in the history of the book and how that relates to publishing history in the history of science.
