His research focuses on eighteenth-century French literature and culture, particularly the works of Denis Diderot, Paul Thiry d\u2019Holbach, and Voltaire. He is the author of a monograph on the theory of determinism jointly advanced by Diderot and d\u2019Holbach (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk\/doi\/book\/10.3828\/9781802077674\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Determinism and Enlightenment: The Collaboration of Diderot and d\u2019Holbach<\/em><\/a>) and is currently working on\u00a0a second book to understand how d\u2019Holbach\u2019s authorial strategies affected the reception of his (political) ideas. He is\u00a0a collaborator on both the Oxford edition of the\u00a0<em>Complete Works of Voltaire<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0<em>Edizione Nazionale del Carteggio di Lodovico Antonio Muratori<\/em>, and the director of the critical edition of d\u2019Holbach\u2019s complete works (<em>Digital d\u2019Holbach<\/em>).
