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.
MA students
I direct the Philosophy MA and the Cognitive Studies MA at the University of Sheffield. Every Autumn Semester, I teach the Cognitive Studies Research Seminar.

In the academic year 2019-20, I will teach Philosophy of Mind (2nd year-Autumn Semester) and Philosophy of Science (2nd year-Spring Semester). At Sheffield, I also taught Pain, Pleasure, and Emotions (3rd year) and directed individual projects on self-knowledge, experimental philosophy, delusions, and the metaphysics of science.
