If you are interested to study with me for a PhD, feel free to get in touch! I am interested in the philosophy of psychology across the board, with a special focus on: affective states (pain, pleasure, emotions, etc.), interoception, imagination and mental simulation, Theory of Mind, mental disorders, and moral judgment. 

BA and MA students
In the Spring Semester 2023, I will teach the Cognitive Studies MA Seminar (with Shaun Nichols and Jerry Viera), and the level-3 module Pain, Pleasure, and the Emotions. I will also run a level-3, independent study module on Moral Psychology (with Shaun Nichols). At the University of Sheffield, I directed the Cognitive Studies MA (2014-2021), the Philosophy MA (2018-2021), and taught many undergraduate and postgraduate modules in cognitive science, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and philosophy of emotion.
