Bio

My research is focused on psychological underpinnings of philosophical concepts and theories. Recently, main themes of my work are personal identity, beginning and end of life, and memory. I hold a research position at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Ethics at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. I'm an affiliated member of the Centre for Philosophy of Memory at the Université Grenoble Alpes, where I completed my PhD thesis in 2022.
