I am completing my PhD in philosophy at the Cologne Center for Contemporary Epistemology and the Kantian Tradition under the supervision of Sven Bernecker and Sofie Møller. My doctoral research focused on fictional discourse, though my broader interests sit at the intersection of social, modal and formal epistemology.
I was a visiting scholar at the University of Oxford (hosted by Neil Levy), where I researched disinformation in the age of AI, and at the University of St Andrews (hosted by Franz Berto), where I focused on the logic of imagination.
Most of my work explores cumulative cultural knowledge and the ambivalent ‘power’ of human imagination — from its foundational role in mathematics to its darker role in propaganda. To date, I have authored publications in the field of social epistemology, modal logic, and Wittgenstein’s early philosophy.
My journalistic pieces, which are often thematically related to my academic work, have appeared in Frankfurter Rundschau and Die Welt, among others. Here, you will find info about these matters, news/upcoming events, art, and even more contingent stuff.
