I am a Feodor Lynen Fellow at the University of Sussex, funded by a Humboldt Grant for Experienced Researchers and hosted by Tanja Staehler and Gordon Finlayson. At the moment, I investigate an issue I call "epistemic friction with the world." My areas of expertise include (the history of) epistemology, philosophy of science, metaphysics, logic, and philosophy of mind, as well as social and political philosophy. I have worked on Kant, Hegel, Marx, neo-Kantians, and Adorno. I am also interested in Du Bois, Critical Race Theorists, and Feminism.

I took a first degree in Dresden, Germany, before moving to Brighton, UK, to pursue an MA and a PhD at the University of Sussex. After being awarded a doctorate in philosophy in 2012, I spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at University College London with Sebastian Gardner as my mentor and funding from the DAAD. Subsequently, I researched at TU Berlin with funding from the Thyssen Foundation and Günter Abel as my mentor. I have published in leading philosophy outlets. I love teaching, online and in person, and I have received enthusiastic feedback from my students, aged 19 to 79. My languages are German, Spanish, English, French, and Portuguese.
