I am a historian of philosophy specialized in early modern philosophy. My research focuses on seventeenth-century philosophy and Baruch Spinoza in particular.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Louisiana State University. I am also a chercheur associé of the LLCP at Paris VIII and an incoming member of the American Philosophical Association's Committee for International Cooperation.

In the fall of 2026 I will begin a position as assistant professor of philosophy at the University of South Florida. I recently pursued my research as a Solmsen Fellow at the Institute for Research in the Humanities, University of Wisconsin - Madison.

Another 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.
