Research

I work mostly in the philosophy of mind and action, at the interface with cognitive science and psychology. I focus particularly on decision-making, practical reason, omissions, self-control, the role of attention, and coordination among agents. Read more about current research projects here. I also have interests in political philosophy, especially taxation and the public sphere. Some of my work on decision-making may have meta-ethical consequences (or not).

Bio

PhD (New York University, 2014), Ecole Normale Supérieure de la rue d’Ulm, Paris (B/L 2004). I have taught at NYU Paris since 2015. I grew up in Strasbourg, France. Other interests include 20th-century classical music, urban photography, mathematics, and fiction from all places and times.
