I am a Lecturer in the History of Philosophy at King's College London, working primarily on Medieval Philosophy in the Latin tradition.
Before coming to the UK, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the De Wulf-Mansion Centre for Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy at KU Leuven, Belgium, working on the project "Hylomorphism Whole: 1300–1330". Before that... well, it's a long story (read the academic CV if interested). Apart from thinking about matter, potency, and causation, I also have some "downtime projects", such as review editing for Speculum or being part of various editorial boards and translation teams.
I spent the first quarter century of my life in Budapest, Hungary, where I attended ELTE University in philosophy and mathematics, and then got an MA in medieval studies at CEU Budapest.
When I'm not doing philosophy, I enjoy singing some early music with Orlando, the Lisson Grove Choir, and the Southwell Consort, or practicing on the bass viol.
On this website, you can find various bits about my research, some teaching materials, and some events I have been organising, including the Virtual Paleography and Latin reading groups.
