I am a researcher and lecturer at the Philosophy Department of the University of Graz, Austria. Currently, I am working at the University of Tokyo, where I am leading a Marie Skłodowska-Curie project.
My main areas of research are metaethics and moral psychology. In particular, I am interested in the validity and metaethical relevance of empirical studies on morality (such as studies on folk moral realism, the evolution of morality, and moral judgements’ relation to emotions).
Further research interests include the philosophy of Albert Camus, intergenerational justice, environmental ethics, and basic needs.

My articles have been published in journals such as Synthese, Inquiry and Review of Philosophy and Psychology.
I have also written two books, both published by Routledge: “Moral Reality and the Empirical Sciences” (2018) and "Folk Moral Objectivism: A Philosophical Perspective" (2022).
