I'm a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, working mainly in philosophy of mind and action, philosophy of psychology, and normativity. Before joining Tel-Aviv in 2015, I was a Career Development Fellow at the University of Southampton (UK), and before that a Lecturer at Oxford University, where I completed my D.Phil (PhD) in 2013.
