I'm a Professor of Philosophy at King's College London specializing in the philosophy of physics. Much of my work focuses on the foundations of spacetime physics. I advocate a view I call Spacetime Functionalism, which I think solves problems in classical theories as well as dealing with the challenges to standard accounts raised by emergent spacetime structure in theories of quantum gravity.
I'm also interested in relationships between theories. I've argued that the kind of novelty that seems to be involved in cases that physicists call 'emergent' is explanatory novelty, arising from particular kinds of changes of variables between theoretical description.
