I am currently a Residential Fellow at the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies. From October 2026 to 2029, I will be the Haworth Early Career Teaching and Research Fellow in Ancient Philosophy at St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford.
Previously, I was the history of philosophy postdoc at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received my PhD in Classical Philosophy from Princeton University in 2023.
My research concerns ancient Graeco-Roman and Indian philosophy. I am interested in ancient theories of the physical world and their impact on the history of science. My projects examine some of the earliest recorded views about space, body, and motion. What did the first people to reflect on the physical world in the Greek and Indian traditions take to be the nature of matter? Did they believe that there could be space that had nothing in it? Did they think that incorporeal entities also exist extended in space? I am additionally interested in to what extent these ancient traditions saw metaphysics and ethics as interconnected.
Beyond ancient philosophy and the history of science, I work on feminist philosophy and the ethics of artificial intelligence.
