Research Interests: Julian investigates how humans perceive and conceptualize time, the role of memory in shaping identity, and the metaphysical foundations of causation. He explores these topics through lenses of both analytical philosophy and historical traditions, particularly Kantian and early modern thought. His recent work challenges conventional views on temporal particularity and the fixity of the past.
