Selected Publications
I have redesigned and taught modules covering a wide range of philosophical traditions, as well as ethics and metaphysics across both analytic and Continental traditions. My modules often incorporate cross-cultural content, using different philosophical and methodological approaches. I enjoy encouraging students to transfer knowledge from other modules, contextualise ideas, and reconstruct arguments in light of both texts and contemporary philosophical theories.
This semester, I am teaching Classical Chinese Philosophy and Philosophy in the Contemporary World.
Previously, I taught neo-Aristotelian ethics and metaphysics, Continental and comparative philosophy, philosophy of AI, philosophy of religions, and virtue ethics and literature.
Current Research
I mainly work on virtue, character, friendship, and the ethics and metaphysics of human flourishing in Aristotle and his contemporary receptions. My research interests also extend to Confucianism, Daoism, and Islamic existentialism. Lately, I've been really excited about exploring topics like love, justice, and moral partiality across ancient Greek and South and East Asian philosophical traditions.
