Though hardly an expert on Islamic Philosophy, my primary research is the Aristotelian commentary tradition, especially with regard to late Antique through high Middle Age philosophy. As a consequence, much of my research has revolved around the medieval Islamic thinkers, primarily Avicenna and Averroes.

Thanks to Prof. Ludlow for getting the word out.
