Welcome! I am a philosopher and temporary full professor for theoretical philosophy at the Philosophy Department of the University of Konstanz. Previously, I investigated the philosophical foundations of complexity economics in a research project that was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and hosted by the Philosophy Department of the University of Cologne. Before that, I had been a temporary full professor for epistemology and philosophy of science at University College Freiburg. From 2013 to 2018 I had been an assistant professor at the Philosophy Department of the University of Konstanz, where I received a venia legendi for philosophy (or Habilitation) in 2017.

I hold degrees in economics and philosophy: a Licence (BSc) in economics from the University of Toulouse 1 (2000), an MA in philosophy and economics (2001) and a PhD in philosophy (2009) from the University of Heidelberg. I was a teaching and research fellow at the Economics and Philosophy Departments of the University of Heidelberg (2009-2011), a research fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2011-2013), and a visiting fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh (2016, fall term).

I conduct research in the epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics (more generally: the philosophy) of science and at the interface of economic methodology, political economy, and political philosophy. I have also published extensively on the history of philosophy.

For a first impression of my research, check out this video on macroeconomics, this recording of a lecture on scientific models, this blog contribution on monetary policy (in German), or this blog contribution on authenticity (in German).
