Title:
PhD Candidate
Biography :
Employed in Silicon Valley’s solid-state data storage industry, I’m pursing a flex-time PhD (since 2013) with IHPST. My dissertation will examine the development, emergence, and maturation of an American community of relativistic cosmologists during the second quarter of the 20th century with a focus on its evolution which culminated in mid-1940s physical cosmology. I have completed an MA (2013) at IHPST, an MIS (2001) at FIS/iSchool, and philosophy HBA (1996), all with the University of Toronto.
