I am interested in the nature of human self-consciousness and in the limits of what our minds can grasp and our words can say. My current main research project focuses on self-alienation and how subjectivity can become distorted or undone. I also work on how self-consciousness informs metaphysics and philosophical methodology.
In my work I mainly engage with and draw from the Kantian, post-Kantian, and Wittgensteinian traditions. 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…

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).
