Prof. Liad Mudrik, started her academic career as student of the interdisciplinary program for outstanding students.

Her Ph.D. in philosophy was a descriptive-deconstructive analysis of the mind-body problem in neuroscience under the supervision of Prof. Marcelo Dascal. She then continued to a postdoctoral fellowship at the California Institute of Technology.
