I am a German philosopher, currently working as a consultant. In 2024, I completed my PhD (summa cum laude) at the University of Konstanz under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Müller and Prof. Verena Wagner. During my PhD, I spent two terms at Stanford University (with Prof. Thomas Icard and Prof. Krista Lawlor), a short-term research visit at the University of Maryland (with Prof. John Horty), and another at Utrecht University (with Prof. Jan Broersen and Prof. Henry Prakken).
In my dissertation, "Suspension of Judgment in Artificial Intelligence – Uncovering Uncertainty in Data-Based and Logic-Based Systems", I explored the integration of the philosophical concept of suspension of judgment into artificial intelligence systems. AI systems are often designed to produce definitive decisions, even in uncertain or conflicting scenarios, which can lead to arbitrary or unjustified outcomes. My work proposed incorporating a neutral, non-decisive option to enable more nuanced and explainable results. I investigated the formal representation of suspension in both logic-based AI and machine learning systems.
Prior to my PhD, I studied Mathematics and Philosophy at Konstanz, Oslo and Tromsø. In my thesis, "The Fixed Points of Belief and Knowledge", I analyzed formal theories of truth and epistemic paradoxes and developed a Fixed Point Theory to address Liar-like epistemic paradoxes.
