Hi, welcome to my website!
I am Miguel, a philosopher and historian of science and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. Before that, I was Assistant Professor at Boston University and British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Cambridge. I am writing book with Oxford University Press, tentatively titled "Newton's Open Problem: Earth's Figure and Universal Gravitation." It is a philosophical history of how we came to conceive of gravitational force as a basic constituent of the physical world and how we tested that conception empirically. My other research explores the foundations of measurement across the sciences.

I am a co-founder (with Jamee Elder) and co-organizer of the Boston Network for the History and Philosophy of Physics (sign up here), a member of the Phi-Geo Research Group at Boston University and serve on the governing council of Society for the Study of Measurement.
