Ph.D. Candidate, Religion, Concordia University (2012 est.)
I'm a doctoral candidate at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. My interests span the history of astronomy in early Judaism (primarily the second-temple and late antique periods), the history of religions, cosmogony and cosmology in ancient Judaism, as well as Judaism and science.
I have designed and taught courses including the astronomies of the ancient Near East, and an introduction to Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Zoroastrianism.
I am currently working on my dissertation.
