Graduate Student | M.A. program in Philosophy

I specialize in the philosophical foundations of Physics. My current areas of interest include the role spontaneous collapse theories can play in simplifying our understanding of the direction of time, quantum non-locality, and the meaning of probability in the Everettian interpretation of quantum mechanics.

I completed the M.A. program in the Philosophical Foundations of Physics at Columbia in 2023.  Many years prior to beginning my studies at Columbia I received a B.A. with highest honors from Princeton University and an MBA with high distinction from Harvard Business School.  In the intervening decades I have been pursuing a career in private equity.  I am currently a Managing Director at Insight Partners, a leading software investor with over $80 billion in assets under management.
