I am a philosopher based in Zurich and Berlin. From September 2018 until August 2019, I am a senior lecturer in theoretical philosophy at the University of Zurich. After my stay in Zurich, I will return to the Humboldt University of Berlin as a lecturer in philosophy. 

​My main research areas are the philosophy of language, metaphysics and 
the ethics of communication. I am currently working on issues in metasemantics, semantics and pragmatics, on the philosophy of time and on theoretical and ethical aspects of lying and misleading. I also have an interest in the history of analytic philosophy, and in particular in Frege's philosophy of language. 

I received my DPhil from the University of Oxford (New College) in 2015. Previously, I completed the BPhil in Philosophy at Oxford (Merton College) 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. 

In 2016, I initiated the research network The semantics and metasemantics of context-sensitive language, which is funded by the DFG. Together with Julia Zakkou and Alexander Dinges, I run the SPB group, a Berlin-based reading group on topics in the philosophy of language.
