Welcome to my home page! I am an assistant professor of philosophy and of science studies in the Department of Philosophy at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD).

My philosophical interests most prominently include foundational issues in physics, particularly in classical general relativity and quantum gravity. Of course, I also get excited about the implications of philosophy of physics for general philosophy of science and metaphysics. More specifically, I also enjoy thinking about issues such as space and time, persistence, laws of nature, determinism, and causation.

My Erdös Number is 3 (Erdös → Tarski → Andreka and Nemeti → me).

News: I am co-organizing the first Geneva Summer School in the Philosophy of Physics, which will take place in Arolla (Switzerland) from 28 July to 2 August 2008. I am very excited about the speakers who have agreed to come and about the strong pool of applicants we had!
