Past Research

My PhD thesis on the 贰苍肠测肠濒辞辫茅诲颈别 looked at the place and function of mineralogy in the 贰苍肠测肠濒辞辫茅诲颈别 and especially at the role of the baron d'Holbach, principal 贰苍肠测肠濒辞辫茅诲颈别 contributor on mineralogy (as well as author of radical articles on religion), key materialist philosophe and translator and disseminator of much German and Swedish knowledge of mineralogy. From 2006-14 I was involved in editing the first complete edition of the correspondence of Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (published online through Electronic Enlightenment).
