I am Professor of Philosophy of Language at the University of Hamburg.
My main research interests lie in the philosophy of language and communication, as well as in metaphysics. I am currently working on insincere communication and misinformation, on the philosophy of fiction, on the semantics and pragmatics of linguistic and pictorial communication and on issues in the philosophy of time.
I received my DPhil from the University of Oxford in 2015. Before joining the University of Hamburg, I spent ten years at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and two years at Freie Universität Berlin. From September 2018 until August 2019, I worked at the University of Zurich. As a visiting fellow, I've enjoyed stints at the University of Cambridge (2017/18), the University of Sydney (2022), at the Center for Advanced Studies, LMU München (2022) and at the UNSW AI Institute (Sydney, 2024).
