Research at the
intersection of
language and mind

I work at the intersection of philosophy of language, post-phenomenology, and the study of AI-mediated experience. Two areas animate the research: epistemic identity and agency in AI environments, and the limits of cross-cultural conceptual translation.

"How do people maintain — or lose — epistemic identity, agency, and authorship when AI systems increasingly mediate the act of thinking?"
Institution
Charles University, Prague — research interest
Method
Qualitative phenomenological inquiry — lived experience, authorship, and epistemic agency
Original concept
Phenomenological friction — the productive resistance that marks genuine intellectual agency

Theoretical
framework

Tradition Key thinkers Contribution to this research
Post-phenomenology Ihde, Rosenberger Human-technology relations; how tools reshape perception and experience
Science & Technology Studies Suchman, Latour Sociotechnical assemblages; agency distributed across human and non-human actors
Academic Literacies Lea & Street, Ivanič Identity in disciplinary writing; literacy as social and identity practice
Interpretive Phenomenology Smith, Flowers, Larkin IPA as method; idiographic approach to lived experience

"The framework is deliberately interdisciplinary — no single tradition can hold the complexity of what happens when a student sits down to write with, through, or against an AI system."

Methodological
orientation

IPA
Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis
Idiographic, phenomenological. Attends to individual sense-making before moving to cross-case themes. Suited to tracing how people construct meaning from lived experience.
CPM
Comparative Phenomenological Method
For the cross-cultural philosophy area — examining concepts within their original linguistic contexts, then comparing with translated equivalents in Anglophone philosophical discourse.
Qual
Qualitative inquiry
Both areas are grounded in qualitative, interpretive methods. The aim is depth and precision in understanding lived experience and conceptual structure — not generalisation at scale.

I am developing two research areas at the intersection of post-phenomenology, philosophy of language, and AI-mediated experience. Open to conversations with researchers and supervisors working in adjacent fields.
