Academic interests
I specialise in the philosophy of science and the philosophy of physics, and have interests in metaphysics and the philosophy of mathematics.
- Scientific methodology;
- Theory change;
- Non-empirical guides to theory development;
- Inter-theory relations in physics (including reduction, correspondence, and emergence);
- Fundamentality;
- Space and time;
- Quantum gravity.
