In my work I mainly engage with and draw from Kantianism, German idealism, and the Wittgensteinian tradition. Other interests of mine include the prospects of idealism in metaphysics and epistemology, the meaning of skepticism, epistemic injustice, the philosophy of death, and the history of philosophy from the 19th century onwards.
Currently I am an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Royal Holloway University of London. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Leipzig after doctoral research in Leipzig and at St Hugh’s College, University of Oxford. Before that, my B.A. and M.A. studies took me to the Universities of Bonn, California (Berkeley), and Paris (Panthéon-Sorbonne).
