I received my PhD in Philosophy from Fordham University. Before joining King's in the autumn of 2022, I had held various postdoctoral positions at the University of Virginia, Indiana University Bloomington, and at KU Leuven, Belgium.

Research interests and PhD supervision 

My main research interest is later medieval philosophy, especially issues connected to metaphysics, such as causation, creation and divine concurrence, the nature of matter and form, and hylomorphism in general. I'm also interested in natural philosophy, and how that changed just before (and during) the Scientific Revolution. I welcome inquiries from prospective research students planning to work on any area in Medieval Philosophy, as well as in Philosophy of Religion and some parts of Metaphysics.
