I am the R.L. Canala College Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame.
Previously, I taught at Duke University.
I work mainly in metaphysics, including causation, fundamentality, time travel, and metaphysics of the social world. I am also interested in how these topics interact with moral and legal questions.
I've held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Humanities Center. I have also been an invited visitor at Arché at the University of St. Andrews, the Center for Philosophy of Time at the University of Milan, and the RSSS at the Australian National University.
I received my Ph.D in 2010 from the University
of Arizona.
My graduate career had other temporal parts located at UNC-Chapel Hill, MIT and Australian National University. I did my undergraduate work at the University of Chicago.
