I am a physicist, mathematician, and philosopher. Currently I am a PhD candidate in philosophy, in the department of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of California, Irvine; beginning in July 2012, I will be Assistant Professor of Logic and Philosophy of Science at UCI. Most of my recent work has been on the mathematical and conceptual foundations of space-time theories, although I also maintain interests in atomic physics and quantum control, in general philosophy of science (and epistemology more broadly), and in the foundations of quantum theory. I am also serving as managing editor of the journal Philosophy of Science, the official journal of the Philosophy of Science Association.  I do some popular science writing on the side.  My book, The Physics of Wall Street, which explains how ideas have moved from physics into financial modeling over the last century, will be published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in early January, 2013.

A complete cv is available for download.  For more on my research interests, see my research page.  My publications (with links to e-prints), along with some working papers and systematically organized supplementary material, can be found on my publications page.  Syllabi and other materials from past and current courses are available on the teaching page.  The resources page contains links to other sites with useful information, mostly related to my research.
