• My work

  The thread articulating my work is how statistics is used in the sciences and in our public life: to what extent statistical data analysis can generate consensus. Philosophically, the problem that has interested me most is how scientists with interests in conflict can reach truth-conducive agreements. My philosophical work relies heavily on the history of the sciences I study, and most of my publications are in history and philosophy of science journals.

  I have advocated for a contractarian epistemology justifying the impartiality of scientific evidence. If a scientific community agrees of a list of potential biases and the corresponding debiasing procedures, any piece of evidence generated with such procedures should be consider neutral regarding the potential conflicts of interest at stake. In my work, I explain why such scientific agreements are epistemically justified and how they actually work in different disciplines (mostly medicine and economics), where debates about bias and partiality have been extensive.
