Liam received his B.A. in philosophy and economics from the University of Vermont in 2021. His main interest is in metaphysics, especially the metaphysics of persons and of ordinary objects. He is currently interested in puzzles about coinciding objects and in the ethical implications of reductionist theories in the ontology of persons. Liam is also interested in the metaphysics of modality, metaontology, and social metaphysics. He thinks that counterpart theory is pretty cool. In his free time, Liam enjoys playing Magic: the Gathering, watching anime, and other hobbies that are usually meant for children.
