| Areas of expertise | My work concerns metaphysics and the theory of knowledge as applied to science. It thus concerns the laws of nature, physical properties, time and space; and also scientific inference and change, evidence, scientific revolutions and progress. I occupy the institutional chair previously held by Adam Morton, having joined the department from the University of Edinburgh in 2003. |
