I enjoy meshing the embodied, enactive and phenomenologically oriented approaches to cognition with modern theories and problems found in cognitive sciences, ecological psychology and pragmatism. I explore topics relevant to the field of philosophy of mind and cognitive science, such as explaining typically representational activities such as imagining or planning, through embodied and enactive cognition, while taking examples that are of my personal interest, e.g., imaginary friend play, metaphor use, or rock climbing (see Publications).

​

My interests and experiences with interdisciplinary environment follows from the extensive training I received as a Marie-Curie researcher in the project 'TESIS: Towards the Embodied Science of Intersubjectivity' (2011-2014).

​

I have a PhD in Philosophy (2015), MA in Philosophy of Psychology (2010), MSc in Occupational Health Psychology (2010) and BA in Liberal Arts and Sciences (2008).

I also have teaching experience from four different universities across three countries. I have taught classes on various topics and enjoy creating my own courses (see Teaching).

I am from Poland, I have been raised in Japan and educated in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. I enjoy collaborative work and travel (see Public Appearances​).
