 Bio I am a first-year PhD. student in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh. I received my B.A. in philosophy in 2009 from Washington University in St. Louis, where I worked with Carl Craver on a case study of the introduction of the cathode-ray oscillograph into electrophysiology. My primary research interests are in methodology and in the philosophy of physics. Within methodology, I am interested in measurement techniques, statistics, and causal inference. I am also interested in how science informs personal conduct and public policy and in how it might do so more effectively. Within philosophy of physics, I am currently interested in inconsistencies within and among physical theories and the ramifications of such inconsistencies for both physics and metaphysics.
