I am a philosopher at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Ethics, Jagiellonian University, in Kraków, Poland, where I am a university professor (profesor uczelni).
My research focuses on the psychological underpinnings of philosophical concepts and theories. Recently, the main themes of my work have been personal identity, death, and memory. I am also interested in computational approaches—ranging from natural language processing to citation analysis—applied to philosophy, including the history of philosophy. My publication list.
I hold a PhD in Philosophy from the Centre for Philosophy of Memory, Grenoble Alpes University, France.
