Research Interests: My research focuses upon the relationships between science, philosophy and aesthetics in the late Enlightenment and early Romantic periods, particularly in the German lands.

My broader interests include the cultural contexts of science, the history of the life sciences and of environmental thought, German Idealism and Romanticism, visual and literary representations of nature, and the epistemology of experiment and technology.
