Jessica Gelber completed her graduate studies in philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley. She joined the Philosophy Department as a member of the Collaborative Specialization in Ancient and Medieval Philosophy in 2018, after holding appointments at the University of Pittsburgh and Syracuse University. Her primary area of research is Classical Greek and Roman philosophy, especially Aristotle's natural philosophy, with particular interests in foundational issues in ancient medicine and science. Her current projects focus on the relation between Aristotle’s conception of science and his metaphysics, and on questions about the nature of causation and explanation. Some her recent seminar topics include ancient Greek and Roman ethics, Aristotle's de Anima, teleology, and Plato's Republic.
