My research concerns Ancient Physics and Logic, from the listeners of Socrates to Later Neoplatonism.
In this respect, I have recently worked on the reception of Plato's kinematics into the Platonic Tradition, notably in Proclus and Damascius.
Under the supervision of Prof. Pierre Destrée (Catholic University of Louvain) and Prof. Marwan Rashed (Sorbonne University), I devote my doctoral thesis to an examination of the function of modalities into Aristotle's kinetics, notably in the light of the ancient commentators and of the contemporary works on modalities (metaphysics of dispositions, semantics of possible worlds, etc.).
