I
am a fifth year
graduate student in philosophy at MIT. My general
interests are in representation and learning. These topics arise in
several contexts; mental representation in philosophy of mind, and
scientific representation in philosophy of science. I believe that
valuable insights to these philosophical topics can be gained by
studying approaches to statistical inference, machine learning and
information theory.
My thesis topic concerns the epistemology of
scientific laws.
I have a previous life as a physicist and continuing interests in
philosophy of physics. See
