I am a historian of early modern and Islamic philosophy, interested in the intersections of ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind within philosophical systems. My written work examines Descartes, Leibniz, Ibn Rushd, and al-Ghazali. In addition to further projects on these philosophers, I am currently investigating the work of Princess Elisabeth, Spinoza, Russell, Ibn Sina, Suhrawardi, and Wittgenstein.
I have taught at as a Lecturer at Loyola University Chicago and University of Illinois - Chicago, and as an Assistant Professor at Coastal Carolina University.
