Χαίρε — Greetings! I study Ancient Greek Philosophy and primarily work on Plato's and Aristotle's moral psychology. In March of 2025 I received a PhD in Philosophy from the University of California, San Diego, after successfully defending my dissertation, entitled 'Our Waking Dreams: Pleasant and Painful Anticipation in Plato and Aristotle,' under the supervision of Monte Johnson.
Besides Plato and Aristotle, I also have very strong interests in later Hellenistic philosophy, particularly the moral psychology of Greco-Roman Stoics and Epicureans. Outside of Ancient Greco-Roman philosophy, I am interested in the broader history of philosophy, contemporary ethics, and moral psychology (especially work on emotions, pleasure, and desire).
Though not my research focus, I also have a bachelor degree in Computer Science and continue to have a soft spot in my heart for logic, formal epistemology, and philosophy of science.
ὥστε φιλοσοφητέον ἂν εἴη πᾶσι τοῖς δυναμένοις· ἢ γάρ τοι τοῦτ' ἐστὶ τὸ τελέως εὖ ζῆν, ἢ μάλιστά γε πάντων ὡς ἓν εἰπεῖν πρὸς ἓν αἴτιον ταῖς ψυχαῖς.
(Aristotle, in Iamblichus, Protrepticus ch. xii, 60.7-10, ed. Pistelli)
Hence everyone who is capable of it should do philosophy, for surely this is either living perfectly, or else it is, most of all anyway, comparing one thing with another, a cause of it in their souls
(Translation by Hutchinson & Johnson)
