He received his Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University in 2005, his M.P.P. from the Kennedy School of Government in 1998 and his A.B. in economics from Princeton University in 1992.His research is focused primarily on the philosophy of economics and economic methodology. His recent work has explored the tensions inherent in the mathematical representation of social phenomena.

His current project is a book length articulation of the critique, which includes a pragmatic program of methodological reform to address the problems identified by the critique.
