After a BSc in Biophysics at the University of Toronto, I spent three years working for an international development project in Calcutta, and on a United Nations World Congress on Environment and Development. After an MA in Philosophy in Toronto and a subsequent year working (primarily in the Physics Department) in Vancouver at the University of British Columbia, I did an MPhil and a PhD in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge. During my PhD I took a one-year position at the University of Leeds, and returned to Cambridge to take up a Junior Research Fellowship at King’s College, completing the doctorate in 2001. I cut the Fellowship short, however, to join the Department of Philosophy at the University of Toronto the following year, entering the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology a year later, where I received tenure in 2007 and became Director in 2009. In 2011, I took up a new position as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, with a special interest in the Doctoral Program in History and Philosophy of Science. When not worrying about dispositions or the nature of scientific objects and relations at the quantum level, I like to stay fit, play musical instruments (in soundproof rooms), indulge in all manner of films and music, and eat delicious food after long walks with Aleksandra.
