picture: the version of my thesis that I
used for preparation looks like this now

I have successfully defended my PhD thesis, entitled “Memory reports”, on July 8th. I presented my claim that memory predicates denote non-novel evidential knowledge. And my claim that causalism, simulationism and epistemic theories of remembering are compatible when restricted to their different relations to natural language and conceptual analysis. I still believe both of these things!

Two proceedings papers of mine have just been published: “The shared core of memory predicates is non-novel knowledge” in the Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung 30 (single-authored); and “Against non-temporal readings of time (p.207) in the proceedings of the 28th Seoul International Conference on Generative Grammar (SICOGG; with Michaela Hulmanová and Marcin Wągiel).

New articles are being published incrementally in the ESSLLI student session Special Issue of the Journal of Logic, Language and Information which I am editing together with Valeria Gradimondo. Most recently: “A Diagnostic Framework for Compositional Generalization via NL-to-FOL Translation” by İbrahim Ethem Deveci. Congrats!

Some upcoming talks and presentations: Unmasking neurodiverse academia (and surviving it) – invited talk at the RMU Weeks of Equal Opportunities (Goethe University Frankfurt); Let times be times – poster presentation at Ontology As Structured by the Interfaces with Semantics (OASIS) 6; Talking all the time, drinking all the beer – talk at the 19th Conference on Syntax, Phonology and Language Analysis (SinFonIJA 19); No time for events – poster presentation at the Biennial of Czech Linguistics 2026.

I am organizing the SORG, a semantics online reading group (only open for students and post-docs) on classic, foundational texts in formal semantics, based on this collection. We also have special squib sessions upon request, e.g. before submission deadlines. Send me an e-mail if you would like to be added to the invitees. ​​​​The winter semester edition of the SORG is going to start soon!
