Personal profile
Research
My research addresses the following topics: (i) scientific publication practices; (ii) the philosophy of Thomas Kuhn; (iii) scientific theory change; (iv) the scientific realism/anti-realism debates; and (v) scientometrics.
I have published three monographs with Cambridge University Press: Kuhn's Evolutionary Social Epistemology, Resisting Scientific Realism, and Kuhn's Intellectual Path: Charting The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.
Teaching
I regularly teach "Philosophy of Science and Ethics" to the chemistry and medical chemistry students, and the engineering students. I also team teach a course that introduces Masters students to the key themes and questions in the philosophy of science. In addition I have taught masters courses in (i) scientometrics, (ii) the Philosophy of Thomas Kuhn, and (iii) the scientific realism/anti-realism debates.
