I am a philosopher of science working on scientific concepts, understanding brain organization, and tackling the climate crisis in science and society.
I currently work as assistant professor at the Department of Philosophy at Bielefeld University, Germany. For the academic year 2024/25, I am a guest professor at the Institute of Philosophy at Leibniz University Hannover.
After studying philosophy in Berlin and Chicago, I got my PhD from the Berlin School of Mind and Brain in 2018. I was also a doctoral/postdoctoral visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge, the Center for Philosophy of Science Pittsburgh, Washington University St. Louis, Wesleyan University, UBC Vancouver, Free University Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Cognitive Brain Sciences Leipzig.
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 .
