Her papers have appeared in Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy, Phronesis, and Apeiron, and most recently in Theory and Practice in Aristotle's Natural Philosophy (Cambridge University Press, 2015) and in Aristotle's Physics, A Critical Guide (Cambridge University Press, 2015).

They recently presented their work at the American Philosophical Association meeting in San Francisco.
