Over the past years I have been working as junior lecturer and junior postdoctoral researcher (Forschungsfonds der Universität Basel and Universität Basel 2015-2017; Dipartimento Formazione e Apprendimento, Scuola universitaria professionale della Svizzera Italiana 2016-2017), as SNSF researcher (Universities of Lausanne, Fribourg, and Basel 2010-2014), and as teaching assistant in theoretical philosophy (University of Basel 2014-15, University of Lausanne 2010-2012).
In 2016 I have been nominated among the final 5 candidates (out of 800 initial nominees) for the Teaching Excellence Award of the University of Basel in the category "Top Aktuell" for my proseminar on the Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence.
In my doctoral research - published as "The Natural Problem of Consciousness" (De Gruyter 2017) - I have been working on the question of whether conscious experience, intended as ontologically subjective biological phenomenon, can contribute to the biological fitness of an organism.
During my doctoral studies I have been guest researcher at the Institut für Philosophie II of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum under the supervision of Prof. Albert Newen (autumn 2012), visiting scholar at the Philosophy Department of Duke University under the supervision of Prof. Karen Neander (February 2014), and visiting student at the Philosophy Department of New York University under the supervision of Prof. Ned Block (spring 2014).
