- I am a Assistant Professor (Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz and lecturer at the University of Freiburg. Previously, I was an Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung Fellow at Humboldt University of Berlin and Potsdam, visiting Associate to Germanic Studies at the University of Chicago (2018-2021), Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Lewis University (2018-2020).

- value theory (aesthetics, ethical theory), theoretical philosophy, and modern philosophy (Kant, Hegel, idealism, phenomenology, existentialism, and Neo-Aristotelianism)
- I am interested in problems of foundational skepticism and adequate grounds; aesthetic theory and the role of art in ethics and concept formation; ethical theory, particularly virtue ethics and theories of kind-derived norms that manage to account for universal rights and unique responsibility relative to the kind in question. On the side, I am interested in such questions as the application of theories of identity and ethics to emergent forms of artificial intelligence.
