I am Professor of Philosophy of Physics in the University of Oxford’s Faculty of Philosophy and a Fellow of Merton College. I’m also a Resident Fellow of the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science, and an External Member of the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität. Through the former, I’m the PI of the NSF-sponsored project A Modern Philosophy for Classical Statistical Testing and Estimation.
Much of my work so far has concerned the foundations of physics and of statistics, and how problems in these fields inform and are informed by broader issues in the philosophy of science. I also have interests in the conceptual and physical basis of computation, metaphilosophy, and the history of physics and philosophy of science.
Here on my webpage you can check out some of my syllabuses and reading lists as well as download my publications and a (relatively!) current CV.
All the banners that appear at the top of these pages are from photographs I’ve taken from my travels around the world.
