​I'm currently a Research Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the California Institute of Technology and Editor at the Einstein Papers Project.  Starting in September 2025, I will be an Assistant Professor in the philosophy department at the University of Washington.

My main interests are in the philosophy of science and early analytic philosophy.  
I received my PhD in Philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh in 2018, and before that I worked as a science teacher at a secondary school (formerly Capital City Academy) in London through the Teach First scheme.
​
My papers can be found under "research" and some sample syllabi can be found under "teaching".

​Contact details are included on my CV.

(I've also co-hosted two earlier episodes of the podcast, talking to Haixin Dang and  Samara Greenwood. You can listen to those earlier episodes here and here.)
  • "Wittgenstein's Tractatus-Logico Philosophicus: A Critical Guide" (Cambridge University Press) is out now. My contributed chapter, "'Normal Connections' and the Law of Causality", discusses Wittgenstein's philosophy of science.
