His thesis discusses how the metaphysical principles of Divine oneness, efficient causality, intelligence, and soul interact with cosmological issues concerning the nature of celestial entities and their governance of the sublunary world. His current fellowship at the Carleton Centre for the Study of the Islam (CCSI) is funded by the FRQSC (Fonds de recherche du Qu\u00e9bec &#8211; Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et culture). The centrepiece of this research project is Fakhr al-D\u012bn al-R\u0101z\u012b\u2019s infamous work on astrology, talismans, and invocation of the celestial spirits,\u00a0<em>al-Sirr al-makt\u016bm\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0(<em>The Concealed Secret<\/em>), with a focus on historical and textual issues, as well as the text\u2019s speculative philosophical content. He is also working on a systematic comparison of Fakhr al-D\u012bn\u2019s philosophical system with that of the \u201cmaster of illumination,\u201d Shih\u0101b al-D\u012bn al-Suhraward\u012b (c. 549\/1155\u2013587\/1191).
