 About Me:I am a doctoral candidate in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh (Summer 2013 completion anticipated). I am 'on the market' this year: information for search committees. My research is concerned primarily with the history of late scholastic, Renaissance, and early modern philosophy, science, and medicine. I am interested also in how developments in these disciplines interacted with theology and with Renaissance and early modern receptions and criticisms of late scholastic philosophy of language. I also work on ancient philosophy, science, and medicine and have broad interests in general philosophy of science. I enjoy teaching a broad range of introductory and advanced courses in the history of philosophy (ancient, medieval and early modern), often—but not exclusively—with a special emphasis on the interplay between philosophy, science, and theology. I can happily teach introductory courses like Philosophical Problems, Logic, and Critical Thinking, as well as Introduction to Philosophy of Science and advanced seminars on a variety of topics in general philosophy of science. I am excited to expand my teaching into areas of metaphysics and epistemology. I have also taught bioethics. I am a co-organizer of the Medicine, Philosophy and the 'Scientific Revolution' initiative hosted here at Pitt. Education:Ph.D., University of Pittsburgh (Summer 2013,
