R. Trent Pomplun is an Associate Professor at the University of Notre Dame, specializing in World Religions and World Church studies. His primary research focuses on Mission History, Tibetan Studies, Buddhist Studies, and the intersection of Late Medieval and Early Modern Scholasticism. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia.
His research explores themes such as the intellectual legacy of John Duns Scotus, Tibetan religious and cultural history, and the activities of European missionaries in Asia. A central focus of his work is the 18th-century Jesuit missionary Ippolito Desideri, whose Tibetan writings and manuscripts he has extensively analyzed.
Pomplun’s publications bridge historical analysis with theological inquiry, emphasizing cross-cultural exchanges and the global dimensions of religious thought. His book Jesuit on the Roof of the World examines Desideri’s mission to Tibet, while his articles address broader themes like missionary historiography and scholastic traditions. His work often combines textual analysis with archival research, particularly in Tibetan manuscripts and European missionary records.
