I am a philosopher of neuroscience. I study how the concept of memory plays an explanatory role in neuroscience and how to understand memory's place in our cognitive architecture.

My research brings together two perspectives. First, I aim to identify the central assumptions underlying memory research using tools and concepts from philosophy of science. Second, my approach to philosophy of mind is empirically-informed: I consider experimental findings as a guide in thinking about basic philosophical questions concerning the nature of memory. 

I am a senior lecturer (assistant professor) at the Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas at Tel Aviv University. 

In 2021, I submitted my PhD at the Hebrew University in the Department of Philosophy. In my dissertation I examined whether memory can be characterized as a unified scientific phenomenon.

I run the International Memory Reading Group with David Colaço. It is soon to become a podcast. Stay tuned!

I contributed to an article about memory in Haaretz (Hebrew): PDF | Haaretz link
