About
I am currently a postdoc at the University of Geneva, as part of the Thumos group. I am working on our emotions towards fictional characters and events under the mentorship of Julien Deonna and Fabrice Teroni. More broadly, I am interested in philosophy of mind (especially emotions and imagination), philosophy of art and ethics, and in particular in questions at the intersection of all these fields.
Originally from Bucharest, I have read maths and philosophy at Trinity College, Cambridge and decided to pursue philosophy further in London (KCL and Birkbeck). I did my PhD at Leeds under the supervision of Matthew Kieran, Víctor Durà-Vilà and Helen Steward, with an academic visit in Geneva. In my PhD thesis, I tried to provide a broadly humanistic defence of the importance of literature, arguing that we can learn something from the novels we read, even if not something explicit.
