I am a lecturer (core-faculty) in the Department of Philosophy and Jewish Thought at Shalem College in Jerusalem. I completed my PhD in philosophy at New York University in 2015, and was subsequently a Polonsky Postdoctoral Fellow at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. In 2022, I received rabbinical ordination from Beit Midrash Har’el.
My research is mainly in metaphysics and philosophy of mind — with a focus on issues surrounding time, possibility and the self, as well as grounding and fundamentality. I also have research interests in the philosophy of physics and cognitive science, as well as in Jewish philosophy — particularly Hasidic metaphysics and the metaphysics of Jewish law (halakha). My research aims to bridge seemingly disparate questions and domains of inquiry, revealing the underlying unity at the heart of a diverse range of phenomena and investigative domains.
Prior to graduate study at NYU, I studied philosophy, mathematics, and psychology at Brandeis University, and spent two years doing research in neurolinguistics.
