Supervised by Professor Neil Vickers (co-director of the Centre for the Humanities and Health), my undergraduate dissertation centres around the philosophy, psychology and physics of time, with some phenomenology, psychoanalysis and neuroscience, and recently won POLIS’ Matei Gheorghiu Prize in Philosophy 2024. I presented my research at the London Universities Philosophy Conference (at UCL) in March 2024, and part of my dissertation is soon to be published in POLIS Vol. 2. — Philosophers of London in Solidarity. I have also had work published on Freud’s death drive in Wild Court (an international poetry journal based in the English Department of King’s College London), as well as a paper on Sartre's ‘Nausea’ in UCL’s Phi Magazine (Φ) quarterly, and an essay ‘The Digitalisation of Time — neuronal violence and the loss duration in Han’s ‘Burnout Society’’ forthcoming in Bentham Digest (UCL’s philosophy journal). I have also had selected poetry published in multiple publications, at King's College London, UCL and in international poetry journals.
