I am also a co-founder and co-coordinator (with Kareem Khalifa) of the annual workshop series "Scientific Understanding and Representation (SURe)."
I received my PhD in philosophy from Humboldt University in Berlin. During my PhD, I was a visiting student at King's College London, where I worked with Professor David Papineau, who was also one of my PhD examiners.
