About Me
I'm a Professor of Philosophy at Ludwig Maximilians University, Munich, specializing in the history of philosophy from modernity to the present. My work focuses on Kant and related topics in contemporary philosophy of mind, epistemology, metaphysics, and logic. I am particularly interested in the nature of mental activity, mental representation, and imagination, in the relation between anti-realism and transcendental idealism, and in modality and the epistemology of modality—and I think all these things are connected.
Before joining LMU in 2025 I was an Associate Professor at the University of Southampton in the U.K. I took my first degree at Cardiff University and my graduate degrees at Merton College, Oxford, holding a positions at Trinity College, Oxford, Humboldt University, Berlin, and Aarhus University, Denmark, before joining Southampton in 2017. I've held visiting positions at the Human Abilities project at HU and FU in Berlin and at the University of Leipzig's Forschungskolleg for Analytic German Idealism as a Humboldt fellow.
