I’m a philosopher of language and meta-metaphysician.

As of September 2026 I’m Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Corvinus University and a Research Fellow at the Institute Vienna Circle at the University of Vienna.

In July 2026 I completed my PhD at University College London. Before that, I completed an MPhil and BA(Hons) at Cambridge.

Outside philosophy you’ll find me making music with friends, on a long walk, or in a cosy pub.
