About me

I'm an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Maryland, College Park. I work mainly in philosophy of science and metaphysics. Though recently I've been doing some work in metaethics.

I'm currently working on projects investigating the nature and theoretical role of coincidences; the Humean approach to metaphysics; and how understanding the nature of scientific explanation can help us make progress on some classic disputes in ethics.

Before coming to Maryland I received my PhD from NYU in 2017. My thesis was about explanation in the special sciences. Before that I did a B.Phil in Philosophy and a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, both at the University of Oxford.

My email is bhogal@umd.edu.

Here is a CV.

Also, I'm on Philpeople.
