His research deals with the philosophical and mathematical foundations of modern physics. His interests include the concept of "time reversal", which modern physics uses to distinguish between the past and the future, classical and quantum time observables, the history of physics, and the relationship between quantum mechanics and other scientific theories. In 2012 he received his Ph.D. in the History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Pittsburgh. He then held the Provost's Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Southern California in 2012-2013 before coming to LSE. He lives in London with his wife Alma Roberts.
