RESEARCH
I focus on topics concerning social cognition at the intersection of philosophy, psychology, and AI. Currently, I am primarily interested in the question of how a philosophical framework can capture the varieties of phenomena concerning social cognition. To this end, I question whether standard notions might be too restrictive and examine to what extent so-called minimal approaches can contribute to a solution. One might call my position INBETWEENISM describing phenomena for which we have no notions yet. In addition, I investigate to what extent artificial systems may qualify as a new type of social agents.
Having an interdisciplinary background, I am convinced that empirically informed philosophy enables us to pose new questions and offer new answers.

My experience in scientific management made it possible to organize various scientific events using new formats to stimulate interdisciplinary interaction and to foster outspoken debates.
