Physicist • Researcher • Educator

About

I am a physicist and educator whose work focuses on the foundations of spacetime, relativity, and quantum mechanics. My research explores conceptual and philosophical questions arising in modern physics, with particular interests in general relativity, the nature of time, retrocausality, and the historical development of physical theory.


I hold an M.A. in Physics from Columbia University and have taught physics, mathematics, philosophy, and robotics throughout New York City. My work bridges rigorous physical analysis with broader questions concerning the interpretation and meaning of scientific theories.


My recent book An Introduction to General Relativity (2025) presents a unique experimental non-fiction account of Einstein's theory of relativity. You can read more and access it here .
