Hello! I'm Alfredo.

​

I am an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Duke University and the Executive Director of the Transformative Ideas program at Duke. I received my PhD in philosophy from UNC Chapel Hill. I did my undergraduate work at UCLA. My main areas of research are in ancient philosophy, political philosophy, and philosophy of science (especially philosophy of mathematics).

​​​

My research focuses on Plato's views on international relations while putting him into dialogue with his contemporaries, especially Thucydides and Xenophon. I am also interested in the philosophy of science, with a special focus on Aristotelian philosophy of mathematics.
