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 Background and Papers.
