I was awarded my Ph. D. in Theoretical Philosophy in October 2008 and became docent in September 2013. I mainly do research in the Philosophy of Language, Epistemology and Cognitive Psychology. Research interests include semantic compositionality, semantic holism, semantic similarity and implicit bias.
I currently teach the course One World, One Language. I've been director of studies for the philosophy department since spring 2015.
