About
I am a philosopher working at the intersection of philosophy and physics. Broadly speaking, my research has two sides: physical philosophy, which involves examining what our most successful physical theories tell us about traditional questions in metaphysics and the philosophy of science, and philosophical physics, which involves using the methodological tools of analytic philosophy to make progress on open problems in physics.
