I am Assistant Professor and Mellon Foundation Dean's Faculty Fellow in the Department of Classical and Mediterranean Studies at Vanderbilt University, with a secondary appointment in the Department of Asian Studies. See my faculty page here for a synthetic overview of my work.

I have broad interests in the languages, literature, and thought of ancient Greece, Rome, and China. Current and recent work clusters in the following areas:

• Scientific, technical, and philosophical traditions of Greek and Roman antiquity

• Latin language and literature, especially Imperial prose (technical and philosophical)

• Greek and Roman philosophical consolation (especially Seneca the Younger’s Consolation to Marcia)

• Greece-Rome/China comparative studies and the reception of the Western classes in modern China

• Classics and artificial intelligence

Ph.D. Classics (Harvard), B.A. Classics, Philosophy (Emory)
