I am currently a Lecturer in Philosophy at Birkbeck College, University of London. I am also the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle Project Officer at King's College London, and a Member of Common Room at Wolfson College, Oxford. Previously I was a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson.

My principal area of research is Ancient philosophy, but I am equally interested in its later influence and have wide interests in Medieval, Renaissance, and Early Modern philosophy. I have written a couple of books on ancient Stoicism, one of which (Stoicism) has been described by reviewers as "excellent", "outstanding", and "the best introduction to the subject".

As well as this website I have a Birkbeck staff page, a King's staff page, and an Academia.edu page. I also maintain two websites, for the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle project and for the Medieval Philosophy in the UK group. 

I have recently been invited to edit a news series of books on Roman Philosophy for University of Pennsylvania Press.
