Classical Foundations
My academic journey began with classical Islamic and ancient Greek philosophy, focusing on textual source analysis and cross-linguistic philosophical transmission. This work on similarity quantification between texts laid the groundwork for my current research.
Bridge to AI
My work in classical source analysis naturally led me to AI as a tool for quantifying textual similarity and uncovering overlooked connections. This experience with semantic distance measurement became central to my current formal epistemology research.
Current Focus
Today, I'm developing rigorous frameworks for epistemic distance measurement that work across agent-agent comparison, text-text analysis, and AI evaluation contexts. The goal is creating tools that are both formally serious and practically applicable to real-world AI assessment challenges.
