I am currently a graduate student in the department of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, but lately I've been a visiting PhD fellow at Rutgers University and the Australian National University. Research interests The bulk of my research is in metaphysics, the philosophy of science, and the history and philosophy of modern physics (with a few pertinent topics in logic and the philosophy of language mixed in). I'm currently writing a dissertation on the metaphysics of fundamentality. I'm also section editor of the fundamentality category at PhilPapers. Click here for an up-to-date copy of my c.v.
