He attempts to bring their insights into meaningful dialogue with modern theories. His central scholarly interests lie in the philosophy of nature and the philosophy of science.
He is a member of various academic societies, including the American Catholic Philosophical Association and the American Maritain Association. Due to his interest in the relationship between faith and reason, he is also a scholar associate of the Society of Catholic Scientists and an affiliate member of The Sacra Doctrina Project.
