I am a philosopher of science working on topics in general philosophy of science (especially conceptual change, experiments, and discovery), philosophy of cognitive and brain sciences, and science and society, particularly climate research and policy. My work connects detailed case studies of scientific practice to broader problems in philosophy, such as conceptual engineering, or democratic participation in science and politics.
After completing my PhD in 2018, I started working as assistant professor at the Department of Philosophy at Bielefeld University, Germany. For the academic year 2024/25, I am a visiting professor at the Institute of Philosophy at Leibniz University Hannover.
I regularly contribute to and organize interdisciplinary research groups and events. I collaborated with neuroscientists, biologists, psychologists, climate scientists, sociologists, historians of science, anthropologists and art historians. I actively seek to integrate other disciplinary perspectives and make my work useful other fields .
