I am a historian of philosophy specialized in Early Modern Philosophy. My research focuses on Seventeenth-Century Philosophy and Baruch Spinoza in particular.

Currently I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Louisiana State University, as well as a chercheur associé of the LLCP at Paris VIII and an incoming member of the American Philosophical Association's Committee for International Cooperation. In 2024-2025 I pursued my research as a Solmsen Fellow at the Institute for Research in the Humanities, University of Wisconsin - Madison.

In the fall of 2026 I will begin a position as Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of South Florida. 

A recent project of mine was co-editing The Edinburgh Critical History of Early Modern and Enlightenment Philosophy. I am co-founder of the research seminar Spinoza à Paris 8 and co-editor of Spinoza in Twenty-First Century American and French Philosophy.

I hold a PhD and MA from the University of Paris VIII. I hold a BA from Cornell University.
