I’m an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of the South in Sewanee, TN.

My research focuses on the intersections of metaphysics and biology in Ancient Greek thought. In particular, I explore how Aristotle’s concepts of life and death are rooted in his ontology of potentiality and activity. My recent articles examine the soul, nutrition and reproduction, and natural death in Aristotle’s philosophy.

My book project, tentatively entitled Aristotle’s Concept of Life: Essence and Activity, examines how Aristotle defines life given its immense diversity and difficult borderline cases.

Some of my recent research appears in Ancient Philosophy, Phronesis, Epoché and in Polis. I teach courses on both European and South Asian philosophy, focusing on the history of ideas in these traditions and their enduring importance for the present.
