My primary research is centered around Ancient philosophy. My interests fall into two main areas, Aristotle’s philosophy of science (esp. natural science), and Plato's moral philosophy (esp. pleasure and its role in the good life). Currently, I am working on a book on Aristotle’s theory of substantial generation. But I have also written on Plato’s method of collection and division, Aristotle’s account of natural kinds, as well as more general issues concerning realism and classification.
Graduate student supervision: I would be happy to supervise dissertations in any area of Plato or Aristotle.
