Currently, I am associate professor of philosophy at the School of Catholic Studies at Newman University.
As a philosopher, Catholic layman, and Dominican tertiary, my studies, teaching, and scholarship aim at continuing the philosophical tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas, Aristotle, and their heirs. I attempt to bring their insights into meaningful dialogue with modern theories. My central interests lie in the philosophy of nature, the philosophy of science, as well as the philosophy of technology.
