Specific Area of Research:
My doctoral dissertation, "'La Philosophie Déguisé': Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle and Making Natural Knowledge" looks at elite French science from the 1680s to the early 1740s. Aside from Fontenelle, my main academic areas of interest are seventeenth and eighteenth century natural philosophy, the popularization of science, public history, history of the book and libraries, and scientific institutions, both professional and amateur, large and small.
