Hi, welcome to my website

I am Miguel, a philosopher and historian of science and Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Boston University. 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 whether Newtonian gravitation is a 'universal' force. 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. 

If you have little time, you can find basic information about my recent publications and upcoming talks by simply scrolling down.

Thank you for your interest in my research!
