 About Me:I am a doctoral candidate in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh (Summer 2013 defense anticipated). 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 defense,
