Biography

My BA is in physics and philosophy from Yale and my PhD is in philosophy from Rutgers. I have previously taught at NYU (as a Bersoff fellow), Yale, and Cornell.

I work primarily in philosophy of physics. I also have interests in metaphysics, especially the metaphysics of physics, philosophy of science, and philosophy of mathematics. At the moment I am especially interested in issues surrounding the use of mathematics in physics, particularly given that there are different mathematical formulations available for any theory.
