I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Classics and Philosophy at the University of Cyprus. My research focuses on the History of Analytic Philosophy and its different relations to the broader context of the History of Philosophy in the Twentieth Century (including the various traditions sometimes bundled under the heading of 'Continental' Philosophy, e.g. Phenomenology or Critical Theory). A number of my publications explore the purported divide between Analytic and Continental Philosophy, including two monographs, titled Encounters between Analytic and Continental Philosophy (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) and Bergsonism and the History of Analytic Philosophy (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022). I am also interested in, and write about, Aesthetics and the Philosophy of Art.
I received my PhD in Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London in 2011, after which I held an Honourary Fellowship at Birkbeck between 2011-2012. Since 2010 I have taught as an Adjunct Lecturer (Ειδικός Επιστήμονας) at the University of Cyprus (Department of Classics and Philosophy (2013-2018, 2021-2022) and Department of Architecture (2010-2015)), as well as the Cyprus University of Technology (2012) and the European University of Cyprus (2015-2018). Between 2019-2021 I was an Advanced Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Classics and Philosophy of the University of Cyprus, working on a project titled ‘Logical Empiricism and the divide between Analytic and Continental philosophy’.
During 2025, I hold a Humboldt Fellowship at HU Berlin and Paderborn University, to work on a project titled "Analysis, logic, and the philosophy of science: L. Susan Stebbing’s dialogues with twentieth-century thought".
