Hi, welcome to my website!
I am Miguel, a philosopher and historian of science and Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Boston University. Before that, I was a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge. You will often find me busy writing my book (under contract at Oxford University Press), which is 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 and universal constituent of the world and how we tested that conception empirically. My other research explores the foundations and limits of quantitative measurement across the sciences. You can use this website to discover my research and teaching. You can also reach out to me directly at mohnesor[at]bu.edu.
