Positions and Education
I have just started as an Assistant Professor (wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin; 3+3 years) at the Chair of Epistemology, Philosophy of Science, and Logic of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Cologne. I am also an external member of the Emmy Noether Research Group From Perception To Belief and Back Again at the Ruhr-University Bochum. Before coming to Cologne I spent time at Universities in Leuven, Berkeley, Konstanz, Munich, Duisburg-Essen, Salzburg, and Boston. I completed my PhD studies (Philosophy) at the University of Konstanz in 2016 and some years ago I finished my MA studies (Philosophy) at the University of Salzburg.
Research Topics
My past, current, and future research focuses on debates in epistemology, general philosophy of science, and metaphilosophy. In epistemology my research encompasses epistemic disagreement, epistemic pluralism, epistemic normativity, theories of justification, of evidential support and of higher-order evidence, and the relationship between logic and reasoning. In the philosophy of science my research centers on the aims of inquiry, the relationship between confirmation and rationality, and the relationship between explanation and understanding. In metaphilosophy I am mainly interested in methods of conceptual clarification and conceptual engineering, and on the role of formal methods and idealizations in philosophy.
Besides epistemology, the philosophy of science, and metaphilosophy, I have some interests in the history of analytic philosophy, decision theory, metaethics, philosophical logic, and philosophy of logic.
Some of my papers can be found here and there.
