Hi, welcome to my website!
I am Miguel, a philosopher and historian of science, currently based at the University of Cambridge as a Postdoctoral Fellow of the British Academy. In Fall 2025, I will join Boston University as Assistant Professor of Philosophy. 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." In it, I reconstruct how we tested the 'universal' particle-to-particle nature of gravitation, i.e., Newton's most daring claim in his Principia. My other research explores the foundations and limits of quantitative measurement in science. You can use this website to discover my research and teaching. Of course, you can also reach out to me directly.
