Short presentation
I work on philosophy of science, philosophical methodologies, and the history of logical empiricism. I received a Master's degree in physics from the Universität Hamburg and a PhD in philosophy from Utrecht University. My research also brought me to the Universität Bayreuth, the University of Minnesota, the Universität Augsburg, the University of Western Ontario, Tilburg University, and the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy.
