Expertise: The figure around whom my research revolves is the Hindu god Vishnu, particularly in his manifestation as Vasudeva Krishna. Four Sanskrit texts -- the Mahabharata, Harivamsha, Vishnu Purana and Bhagavata Purana -- constitute key sources for this research. I have recently completed a monograph on Krishna's son (Pradyumna, OUP) and an annotated translation of a 13th century Sanskrit play from Kerala (Pradyumnabhyudaya of Ravivarman, Harrassowitz).
