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 a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Cambridge. You will often find me busy writing my book (under contract at 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.
