I’m a philosopher with core research interests in Early Modern Rationalism, Kant, and German Idealism. Where possible, I connect my historical research with contemporary discussions in metaphysics and epistemology.

Currently, I’m a Postdoc working on Kant’s Transcendental Dialectic in the project “Reasonable Ideas” at Humboldt University Berlin. Before, I was a Postdoc at the University of Zurich and a Visiting Fellow at Princeton University and Humboldt University Berlin.

My main project concerns Kant’s metaphysics of existence and modality. I develop a ‘Meinongian’ reading of Kant, according to which his theory of modality crucially relies on an ontology of non-existent objects.

On January 8, I’ll give a talk about possibilia in Kant’s critical philosophy at the APA Eastern Division Meeting in Baltimore, followed by comments Austin Wang (Johns Hopkins).

On February 18, I’ll give a talk about Kant’s conception of positing at the APA Central Division Meeting in Chicago, followed by comments from Daniel LeBlanc (Yale) and Karl von der Luft (U Chicago).
