Profile

​​​​I am an ESPRIT Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) at Central European University. My current project, On Character Traits and Personality, develops a philosophical account of personality and character traits, investigating their relationship to consciousness, identity, agency, and moral responsibility. Bringing together philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science, the project aims to explain what personality is, how it develops over time, and why it plays such a central role in understanding who we are.

My research engages with metaphysics of mind, metaphilosophy, and philosophy of religion. I also write on non-Western philosophy, intercultural and comparative philosophy, ethics, and political and jurisprudential philosophy.

​I hold a philosophy PhD from the Central European University in Vienna, Austria. I also have an LLB law degree and Bachelor of Arts(hons) in history and philosophy from the Australian National University, and an MAPhil from the Graduate Center City University of New York. I’ve been a visiting researcher at New York University and The Australian National University.

I spend my time living and working between The United States of America, Austria, and Australia.
