I'm an Assistant Professor of Logic and AI at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. 

Before joining the philosophy department in Amsterdam, I was a postdoc at Radboud University in Nijmegen and Eindhoven University of Technology. In Eindhoven, I was part of the research consortium Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies (Esdit).

I received my (joint) PhD in philosophy (2020) from Ruhr University Bochum and École Normale Supérieure, Paris (Institut Jean Nicod). I hold master's degrees in philosophy (Humboldt University Berlin) and cognitive science (Berlin School of Mind and Brain).As a student, I spent one year at UC Berkeley and two terms at University College London.

With Vincent Müller, I edit the journal Philosophy of AI and organize the Society for the Philosophy of AI. 

My work deals with methodological questions: How can we do philosophy? How can we answer questions like "Can AI reason", "Can AI think?." I defend what can be described as a kind of Analytic Romantic Pragmatism with a strong Anti-Philosophy leaning. Overall, I believe that philosophy is a kind of normative conceptual engineering. 

I mainly teach philosophy of science, logic, ethics of AI, and pragmatism.
