From September 2011 I am a University Lecturer in Philosophy of Science at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge University. Before that I was an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at University of Missouri St Louis where I've been since fall 2007. I graduated from University of California San Diego with a PhD in Philosophy and Science Studies in 2006.

Some facts about me: born and bred in Russia (Krasnodar, a city in the Northern Caucasus), I have also lived in France and Cyprus. In 1998 I went to the UK to do an MSc in Philosophy of Social Science at the London School of Economics. That's how I found my vocation and also met Robert Northcott who became my husband in June 2005. We have two sons: Andrei born in April 2008 and Michael born on October 2010. This is my dad.
