My research focuses on Vaiṣṇava thought and literature, particularly the Bhagavad Gītā and the Bhāgavata Purāṇa.

I received my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Bar-Ilan University in 2020, following an M.A. in East Asian Studies at Tel Aviv University and a B.A. in Theology at the University of Wales, Lampeter. In 2021, I held a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School.

My first book, Transcendent Personalism in Indian Philosophy, was published by Resling in 2021. My second book, on Caitanya-centered Vaiṣṇavism, is forthcoming.
