General CV

I completed my PhD in 2014 in the Department of Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin under the supervision of Professor Vasilis Politis. My thesis, which was on Plato’s Parmenides was examined by Professors Mary Margaret McCabe and Peter Simons. I have also, since 2010, been engaged in the long-term project of producing a new English translation of all of Plato’s dialogues, which is now coming to an end.
