I am a Ph.D. (graduation date: May 23, 2008) in the CPaS (Committee for Philosophy and the Sciences ) program, in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Maryland, in which I enrolled for graduate studies in September, 2003. My areas of specialization are in the philosophy of science, as well as in the philosophy of physics. My other areas of specialization include mathematical physics, and mathematics. My areas of competence include philosophy of language, ethics, and process philosophy. In the philosophy of science, my research interests include inter-theoretic reduction, scientific explanation, and topics in modality (both epistemological and metaphysical). In the philosophy of physics, my research focuses on the application of Clifford Algebra, with respect to the characterization of theories in certain branches of physics, both fundamental and applied. To the physicist and engineer, the appeal of Clifford algebras primarily stems from the means by which one may unify the geometric content of a theory's mathematical formalism. To the philosopher of physics, such instances of Clifford-algebraic geometric unification prove a compelling area of study, for cases in which a theory's ontological content becomes relatively more unified and simplified.
