About Me

I earned my bachelor's degree in philosophy in 2015 at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb. In 2016, I obtained my master's degree in philosophy at the Central European University in Budapest, under the supervision of Philip Goff and Michael Griffin. I completed my PhD in philosophy in 2022 at King's College London, successfully passing my viva with a dissertation on panpsychism and anti-physicalist theories of consciousness, supervised by David Papineau and Matthew Soteriou.

While at King's, I briefly worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, leading seminars in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of religion. Currently, I'm employed as a Senior Assistant at the Institute of Philosophy in Zagreb. In my spare time, I enjoy making music, photography, and web design.

Research

My academic interests lie primarily at the intersection of the philosophy of mind and metaphysics, where I examine theories of consciousness, personal identity, and the nature of objects and properties. In the future, I plan to connect my current research with other topics in these areas, specifically with physicalist theories of consciousness and issues in cognitive science.

Additionally, I explore topics in the philosophy of religion, focusing on alternative conceptions of divinity, the divine attributes, and aspects of East Asian Buddhism. Within the history of philosophy, I am particularly drawn to the contributions of René Descartes and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. I also engage with AI ethics, mainly with whole brain emulation, digital immortality, and digital suffering.
