I hold a degree in Philosophy and a PhD in Sanskrit Philosophy. I am currently working at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and I have published books (Brill, Peter Lang), book chapters (please click on papers in my Academia.edu webpage to see the complete list) and articles (Journal of Indian Philosophy, Nagoya Studies, Indo-Iranian Journal, WZKS, RSO, RiSS and several others) on various topics of Sanskrit (and) philosophy. I have been invited to speak at several conferences and I organized many myself. I enjoy discussing and am grateful for honest criticisms.
