I am a lecturer in philosophy at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, currently on leave to teach at Freie Universität Berlin.
My main research interests lie in the philosophy of language and communication and in metaphysics. I am currently working on theoretical, ethical and empirical aspects of insincere communication, on issues in metasemantics, semantics and pragmatics and on the philosophy of time. I am also interested in topics in aesthetics, the history of analytic philosophy and the philosophy of science.
I received my DPhil from the University of Oxford in 2015. Previously, I completed the BPhil in Philosophy at Oxford and a BA in Philosophy and German Literature at the Humboldt University of Berlin. From October 2017 until March 2018, I was an Academic Visitor at the University of Cambridge and a By-Fellow at Churchill College, funded by a fellowship of the DAAD. From September 2018 until August 2019, I worked as a senior lecturer in theoretical philosophy at the University of Zurich.
I am part of two research networks funded by the DFG: The semantics and metasemantics of context-sensitive language, which I initiated in 2016 and of which I am a coordinator, and Change and Change-Makers, which investigates issues in the philosophy of time and persistence.
Here are my profiles on PhilPeople and Google Scholar.
