Operational theories as structural realism
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2022 We undertake a reconstruction of the epistemic significance of research on operational theories in quantum foundations. We suggest that the space of operational theories is analogous to the space of possible worlds employed in the possible world semantics for modal logic, so research of this sort can be understood as probing modal structure.

Structural realism versus deployment realism: A comparative evaluation [PDF]
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2016 In this paper I challenge and adjudicate between the two positions that have come to prominence in the scientific realism debate: deployment realism and structural realism. I discuss a set of cases from the history of celestial mechanics, including some of the most important successes in the history of science. To the surprise of the deployment realist,

Group Structural Realism [PDF]
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2011 We present a precise form of structural realism, called group structural realism, which identifies 'structure' in quantum theory with symmetry groups. However, working out the details of this view actually illuminates a major problem for structural realism; namely, a structure can itself have structure.
