Areas of Interest: Ancient and Medieval Philosophy; Epistemology; Metaphysics; Philosophy of Language & Logic
Before joining the faculty of philosophy here in Groningen (in 2015) I was a research fellow in philosophy at the University of Oxford and before that I completed my PhD at the University of Cambridge.
My historical research is broad both chronologically and thematically, but focuses on ancient and medieval philosophy. To date, I have published on Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, and Augustine.
My systematic interests are focused on (analytic) metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of language and logic. I am especially interested in questions at the intersections of these areas and value theory and the philosophy of action.
I am interested in supervising students working in these areas. Please contact me if you are a prospective student and have any queries.
On my personal site you can find more materials related to my teaching and research.
