I received my M.A. from the Institute of Cognition and Culture at Queen’s University Belfast. I obtained a Ph.D. in Religious Studies at the Dept. for the Study of Religions at Masaryk University in Brno and in Social Anthropology at the Institute of Social Anthropology at Comenius University in Bratislava. I have also worked at the Experimental Anthropology Lab at the University of Connecticut as a Fulbright visiting researcher. Currently, I am a full-time researcher at the Institute of Ethnology and Social Anthropology at the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava and a research fellow at the Laboratory for the Experimental Research of Religion (LEVYNA) in Brno.
As an anthropologist, I work in the sphere of the cognitive and evolutionary science of religion. I am particularly interested in (religious) rituals from a cognitive and evolutionary perspective. I have been doing fieldwork in Mauritius since 2013, using ethnography and experimental methods to explore ritual participation, religious views, and moral outcomes.
