Hi, I’m Cillian.

I’m a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow & Assistant Professor in Philosophy at the Jagiellonian University Krakow.

There, I’m trying to answer 2 broad questions:

1) What are the philosophical implications of the digital?
In particular, how does this technological transformation shape what we perceive as unjust? This project is funded by an MSCA Actions Grant (€260,000).

2) What is the impact of Generative AI on teaching in the Humanities?
What do we need to adapt and what do we need to hold onto? This project is funded by Una Europa (€27,000) and has resulted in the largest survey of academics on AI & pedagogy in Europe (550+ responses).

Before coming to Krakow, I’ve was a Gates Cambridge Scholar at the University of Cambridge; a Lecturer at King’s College London; a Research Fellow at the Complutense Universidad de Madrid; a Research Fellow on an AHRC-DFG project; and, a Teaching Fellow at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon.
