I am a postdoc at Humboldt University’s Center for Human Abilities and Fellow at the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies. I received my PhD in philosophy from Princeton in 2021 and my BA (2013) and BPhil (2015) from Oxford.

I work on ancient Greek and Roman philosophy and am especially interested in ancient science. I am also interested in metaphysical explanation and questions about the methodology of the history of philosophy, particularly as they pertain to canon formation.

Outside of my academic work, I compete at the national level in stone put. I write about the sport and its relationship to my research in this essay for AEON and talk about it in this portrait in Le Temps. I am also an amateur wildlife photographer; some of my favorite photos are dotted around this website (and more are here)
