Professor of Philosophy, University of St. Thomas (MN)

My research focuses on medieval philosophy, especially the thought of Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus and other 13th and 14th century thinkers, with particular interests in metaphysics, efficient causation, divine and created causation, and medieval natural philosophy.

I am the author of Aquinas on Efficient Causation and Causal Powers (Cambridge University Press, 2022). I am currently completing a second book on Divine and Created Causation in Medieval Philosophy supported by a National Endowment for the Humanities faculty fellowship.
