I am professional philosopher working in the field of practical philosophy and ethics. I received my MA and PhD from the University of Münster (Germany) with a thesis focused on the debate on moral realism in metaethics in 2013. I also held different scholarships and fellowship at Oxford (UK) and Harvard (USA) during that time. Since 2014, I have been a full-time and tenured researcher at the Juelich Research Center. In 2021, I completed my habilitation at the University of Bonn, presenting a philosophical work on the question of meaning in life in ethics, and received the venia legendi in philosophy. Thus, in addition to my appointment in Juelich, I am also currently Associate Professor (“Privatdozent”) at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Bonn.

I have published more than 50 professional articles in international journals. In 2014, I had the privilege of being a Visiting Fellow at Columbia University in New York (USA). I was honored in 2016 with the annual Philosophy and Ethics prize awarded by the German Society for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Neurology (DGPPN). I am proud to be a co-founder and editor of the Journal for Ethics and Moral Philosophy (Springer; first issue published in 2018).
