Welcome!

I am a post-doc at the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Graz and Co-PI in a research project on the ethics of autonomous vehicles at the Bundeswehr University in Munich, Germany. My main research interest is in empirically informed ethics (e.g., implications of experimental psychology for theories of moral justification), but also in moral psychology and experimental philosophy more generally. Moreover, I also work in political philosophy, applied ethics and legal philosophy. My work in the history of philosophy concerns Adam Smith and the Scottish Enlightenment.

Before moving to Austria, I studied philosophy and law at the University of Hamburg. I had fabulous research stays at Georgetown University, Oxford University, and Yale University. Moreover, I am co-founder of the philosophy blog praefaktisch.de.
