I research how the discrete structure of measurement may connect quantum physics, gravity, and the evolution of the universe.

My work centers on Measurement Quantization (MQ), a framework that expresses physical phenomena through counts of fundamental measures. I investigate whether this approach can provide a common foundation for quantum mechanics and general relativity while producing predictions that can be tested against observation.

My research spans the quantum measurement problem, the emergence of spacetime geometry, fundamental constants, cosmic origins, and the Hubble tension—the difference between measurements of the universe’s expansion rate.

A major focus is the relationship between visible matter and galactic motion. My recent work develops a first-principles derivation of the galactic radial acceleration relation, exploring whether the behavior commonly attributed to dark matter can emerge from the geometry of discrete measurement. I evaluate the resulting predictions using Milky Way observations and the SPARC and LITTLE THINGS galaxy datasets, applying the same MQ relation across different galactic populations.

Throughout this work, I emphasize mathematical consistency, transparent assumptions, and testable predictions. My research distinguishes observational tests from internal mathematical agreement and identifies where further evidence is needed.

I also work to make these ideas accessible beyond specialist audiences, explaining the physical questions, the reasoning behind the framework, and the observations that could support or challenge it.

I welcome connections with physicists, cosmologists, astronomers, experimental researchers, and science communicators interested in foundational physics and constructive scientific exchange.
