Welcome!

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the philosophy department of KU Leuven, member of the Centre of Philosophy of Science and the Husserl Archives. I have completed my PhD in philosophy at King’s College London in 2022, and before that obtained degrees in philosophy and physics from LMU Munich.

My philosophical interests are wide, but they revolve around the relation between the conceptual maps we develop in empirical sciences and the world as it presents itself in everyday experience. This means that I am developing phenomenological philosophy in the domain of general philosophy of science and more specifically the scientific realism debate. This involves debates with a long history, and the choices of which parts of that literature is still being read can be quite arbitrary. Another strand in my work is therefore to leverage computational methods for the study of the history of philosophy (of science). This was in particular developed in Sander Verhaegh’s ERC project Exiled Empiricists, which led to an interactive web-application. I previously worked as a data scientist and contributed to empirical research on the UK Research Evaluation Framework (with Moqi Groen-Xu, Research Policy ).

Besides my academic profile, this website also has a small section for tools that describes tools which found useful for philosophy research.
