I am a philosopher of science currently based in Vienna. I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research and an invited lecturer at Kyiv School of Economics. I completed my PhD in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge in 2024. 

I work in philosophy of biology and philosophy of the social sciences, often trying to bridge the two. My primary research interest is knowledge integration across the biology-social science divide, particularly in the context of studying human behaviour and health. While investigating these topics, I also engage with a number of more traditional philosophical concerns, such as causal evidence and explanation, the relationship between different domains of science, and the role of epistemic and non-epistemic values in scientific inquiry. 

My current research focuses on behavioural genetics and genomics and their intersections with the social sciences as well as cultural evolutionary theory. For a representative example of my work, see this recent paper (non-paywalled version here). 

I was born and grew up in Ukraine which continues to suffer from the Russian invasion. You can help Ukrainian medics save lives by donating to https://www.hospitallers.org.uk/ or https://www.leleka.care/.
