I am a philosopher working primarily in metaphysics and philosophy of science. I am especially interested in fundamentality, explanation, probability, laws, time and causation.
As of January 2023, I am an Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley. I did my PhD at Rutgers, New Brunswick, advised by Jonathan Schaffer and Ted Sider. My dissertation, ‘Essays on Metaphysical Explanation’, is here, and my CV is here.
I am co-organizing the Berkeley Metaphysics Workshop (March 15-16, 2025). You can find the schedule here.
