I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, a Resident Fellow of the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science (MCPS), and an External Member of the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität.

In September, 2024, I will join the University of Oxford’s Faculty of Philosophy as Professor of Philosophy of Physics and Merton College as Fellow. I’ll continue as PI of the 2021-2026 project A Modern Philosophy for Classical Statistical Testing and Estimation, retaining my MCPS affiliation through these years.

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 summaries of my recent research and teaching 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.
