My initial university education consisted of seven years of Thomistic Philosophy and Roman Catholic (RC) Theology, as well as spiritual seminary formation under the guidance and in the service of the Clandestine RC Church Ecclesia Silentii, according to the Secret Mandates of Pius XII, during the Cold War in former Czechoslovakia, for which the Czech Republic, EU Minister of Defense decorated me as a Cold War Third Resistance Veteran in 2019. Today, I work as a distinguished international visiting scholar, holding a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Theology from the U. of Religions and Denominations, with a doctoral dissertation, "Avicenna et Aquinas: De Esse et Essentia Dei," an M.A. in Religious Studies – Islamic Sciences from al-Mustafa Int. University, a post-graduate certificate in Biomedical Sciences from Harvard University, a B.A. in Liberal Arts - Fine Arts from Muhlenberg College, and an A.A. in Liberal Arts - Military Science from the New Mexico Military Institute. I teach, advise, and research topics in theoretical philosophy and theology, especially metaphysics, ontology, and epistemology; political, economic, social, and moral philosophy; philosophy of religion; comparative Abrahamic religions; and interdisciplinary studies at the crossroads of philosophy, theology, the humanities, social sciences, and history. With a lifelong academic experience in Europe, North America, and the Middle East, I have developed a multidisciplinary perspective that informs my scholarly and professional endeavors, enabling me to develop novel academic programs, fill curricular gaps, and facilitate progress in undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate education, as well as carry out mentorship, supervisory, and administrative duties, engage in public scholarship, and enhance universities' profiles as places where scholarship contributes to the world by establishing cooperation among different schools of thought, cultures, linguistic groups, and geographic regions. I have published multiple scientific articles and given hundreds of presentations at academic conferences, public fora, and media worldwide. Additionally, I am fluent in multiple modern languages and have a working research knowledge of several other ancient languages. I am an avid athlete and artist with a professional background in alpine skiing and fine arts.
