I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Logic of Conceivability Project based at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation of the University of Amsterdam.
I obtained my PhD in Philosophy in 2015 from the University of Groningen, where I worked under the supervision of Igor Douven.
My doctoral thesis is titled Between "If" and "Then:" Towards an Empirically Informed Philosphy of Conditionals. Before joining the LoC Project, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy and Center for Advanced Studies of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, and I remain an external member of the Center.
My research interests include semantics and pragmatics of conditionals, their role in reasoning and decision making, various issues related to semantics-pragmatics interface, and philosophy of psychology of reasoning.
