Areas of Specialisation (marked with *) and Competence
Tempo-modal Logics*: Standard Logics (Peircean, Ockhamist) and refinements of their languages (metric, hybrid or Vlach-style); languages for trees with undividedness and indistinguishability functions; Quantified Tempo-Modal Logics; T x W machinery versus Trees machinery.
Ontology and Metaphysics*: Theories of existential and ontological dependence; Theories of Essence; Tense realism and antirealism; Events.
Logic of Agency*: Stit Logics, ATL, Coalition Logics, PDL implemented with strategy-sentences.
Epistemology: Belief revision and belief merger; Scientific change and its structure; Contradiction-amending strategies in science; Theories of Causation.
Current Researches:
Tempo-modal languages where the stit operator is definable.
Formal frameworks for technology-induced change of possibilities (applying dynamic/ATL/stit and deontic operators).
Presentism and diachronic (cross-temporal) relations.
