Professor Waller specializes in Modern Philosophy, Political Philosophy, and Metaphysics. He received his BA in 2004 from Kent State University where he majored in philosophy, classics, and English. He then won a Ross Fellow to study at Purdue University where he received his MA in 2006 and PhD in 2009 (with highest honors).
