Welcome to my site!
Since October 2018, I am working as a researcher at the ‘climate ethics and future generations’ programme of the Institute for Futures Studies in Stockholm and sponsored by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. I am also member of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Bayreuth, which I joined in April 2017. Before that I worked at the Humboldt University of Berlin (2016–2017) and at the University of Mannheim (2014–2016). Prior to coming to Mannheim I worked at the University of Konstanz (2011–2014) and spent the academic year 2011/2012 at the University of Oxford with Krister Bykvist as my adviser.
In April 2014 I completed my doctoral studies at Saarland University under the supervision of Christoph Fehige and Attila Tanyi and with Roger Crisp as external reviewer. My dissertation examines the ethical theory of consequentialism. It has been awarded the Wolfgang-Stegmüller-Preis of the German Society for Analytic Philosophy (GAP). I have previous degrees in philosophy (Magister Artium) from the University of Bielefeld and in law (first state examination).
My main research interests lie in ethics and political philosophy. In ethics I am particularly interested in topics of normative ethics such as consequentialism, contractualism, supererogation, and the principle that ‘ought’ implies ‘can’. In political philosophy I am currently working on the democratic representation of future persons and, in particular, on the boundary problem in democratic theory.
