Hey there, thanks for visiting my website! My name is Levin Güver and I am currently a PhD student at University College London, where I am jointly supervised across the Law Faculty and Philosophy Department by Mark Dsouza and John Hyman. I hold a Bachelor of Law and Master of Law from the University of Zurich, the latter of which I graduated as valedictorian. I am also an active member of the IDea_Lab (formerly known as the Guilty Minds Lab).

My interests are in criminal jurisprudence, broadly construed. I am most passionate about the action-theoretic foundations of criminal law and am currently composing a thesis on puzzles surrounding intention and adjacent concepts, such as consent. I hold auxiliary interests in the philosophy of blame and punishment and the ethics of artificial intelligence. I am also greatly interested in tackling jurisprudential questions from an empirical angle (here is a wonderful review article on what that looks like) and have done some work on biases afflicting causal cognition and, by extension, the law.

In my free time I enjoy lifting weights, running, playing chess, and reading manga.

If you share any of the above interests, please do get in touch! :-)
