I'm currently a postdoc at the University of Toronto where I investigate the Platonist reception of Plato's Laws X. I'm mainly interested in Plato, Aristotle and the Platonist tradition with a focus on topics in metaphysics and psychology. Previously, I have completed a PhD (2023) and an MPhil (2019) in Classics (Ancient Philosophy) at the University of Cambridge and a BA in Philosophy and Ancient Greek at the University of Heidelberg (2018).
