My research focuses on the history of early modern science and philosophy, and more specifically on the metaphysical and epistemological foundations of natural philosophy. Many of my publications deal with theories of space, time and matter, and with early modern discussions concerning the ontological status of mathematical entities. I am also interested in the role of thought experiments in early modern science and philosophy.
