About Me #

I live in Halifax, NS, with my wife and son. Before coming to Halifax in 2018, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Suppes Center for History and Philosophy of Science at Stanford University. Before that, I was Lecturer and a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of History of Science at Harvard University.

I received my PhD from the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology at the University of Toronto in 2014, also with support from SSHRC. As an undergraduate, I studied both physics and history in the BA&Sc program at McGill University.

I enjoy canoeing and photography. I have won one gold medal for downhill skiing (slalom). The medal is shaped like a chocolate bar.
