I am an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.

I work primarily in metaphysics (especially modality, laws of nature, properties, dispositions, causation) and general philosophy of science (especially, scientific representation, scientific models, scientific realism, evidence and confirmation, explanation). 

I founded, administer, and contribute to Matters of Substance: A Group Blog Devoted to Metaphysics and It's Only A Theory: A Group Blog Devoted to General Philosophy of Science. 

I am the PhilPapers area editor for General Philosophy of Science and middle editor for Models and Idealization, Scientific Realism, and Properties.
