Donnchadh O'Conaill (oconaill-d)
I am currently working as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, on the Swiss National Science Foundation-funded project The Subject of Experiences: The Significance of its Metaphysical Nature in the Philosophy of Mind. My research interests are mainly in the philosophy of mind, metaphysics and phenomenology.
