My research focuses on early modern philosophy. It is primarily concerned with the metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind of this era. My work deals with figures such as Francisco Suárez, René Descartes, Baruch de Spinoza, Nicolas Malebranche, Arnold Geulincx, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Anne Conway, John Locke, Margaret Cavendish, George Berkeley, David Hume, Catharine Trotter Cockburn, and Immanuel Kant. I have written a book on Leibniz's metaphysics of modality (the book, entitled Leibniz' Metaphysik der Modalität, is based on my dissertation and came out in 2016 with De Gruyter).

While at the center, I am working on a project on agent causation in the seventeenth century (in late scholasticism, Malebranche, and Geulincx, among others), on a project on power and essence in Spinoza, and on a project on the grounding of modality in the pre-critical Kant.
