As of July 2024, I am an assistant professor (Akademische Rätin) at the chair of theoretical philosophy at FernUniversität Hagen. Before that, I was at the University of Sussex, with an Experienced Researcher Grant from the Humboldt Foundation. I am currently working on 'epistemic and moral friction', Hegel's social philosophy, and Latin American critical theory. My areas of expertise include (the history of) social philosophy and political philosophy, epistemology and philosophy of science. I have published primarily on Kant, Hegel, Marx, neo-Kantians, and Adorno. I am also interested in Du Bois, Critical Race Theorists, Post-Colonialism, 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 frequently write peer reviews for leading journals, and I love teaching, online and in person. My languages are German, Spanish, English, French, and Portuguese.
