I trained as an art historian at the University of Oxford, where I am currently a postdoctoral associate, as well as an invited researcher at the Institut national d’histoire de l’art (INHA), in Paris. I specialise in modern aesthetic theory in Europe, and am interested in questions surrounding the nature, value, materiality, context of and discourse around art, at the intersection of art history, art theory, intellectual history, literature, and philosophy.
I also trained as a neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge and at Columbia University, where I focused respectively on the antigenic profile of glial cells, and on the neural correlates of consciousness and perceptual adaptation. I have a background in veterinary medicine, with clinical and research interest in anaesthesia; and in law, with a focus on jurisprudence.
Prior to my ongoing appointments at Oxford and at the INHA, I was a Wellcome Trust Fellow at Cambridge, a lecturer and Science Fellow at Columbia, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at Geneva, a research associate at King’s College London, and a Fellow at institutes for advanced studies in London, Paris, New York, Delmenhorst, and Amsterdam.
