Everettian chance in no uncertain terms
We unify Everettian accounts of chance by focusing on the conditions under which branches are isolated.

The Quantum Group at Newcastle: A conceptual resources perspective on quantum interpretation
We discuss how quantum interpretations elucidate conceptual resources that can be useful for pedagogy.
Introduction to Quantum Mechanics
We explore the basic formalism of quantum mechanics alongside several prominent interpretations of it.
IHPST 2026: A conceptual resources perspective on quantum interpretation
We discuss how quantum interpretations elucidate conceptual resources that can be useful for pedagogy.
Foundations 2026: Everettian chance in no uncertain terms
We unify Everettian accounts of chance by focusing on the conditions under which branches are isolated.
Dubrovnik 2026: Everettian chance in no uncertain terms
We unify Everettian accounts of chance by focusing on the conditions under which branches are isolated.
Physics, Philosophy, Pedagogy
This project, a collaboration with Rachel E. Scherr, investigates how the intersection of physics and philosophy can benefit upper-level physics education. We draw on feminist …
APS Summit 2026: Why not talk about measurement?
We argue that teaching physics undergraduates different approaches to quantum measurement might bring their epistemologies closer to those of experts.
APS Summit 2026: Student views about measurement in two quantum models
We identify conceptual resources that reflect specific quantum interpretations and explore their potential for supporting specific learning goals in quantum mechanics.
Hypothetical frequencies as approximations
Hypothetical frequencies are great approximations (inexact descriptions of a target) but bad idealizations (separate models that bear analogies to the target).
