I am a philosopher. I work at the crossroads of three philosophical sub-disciplines: philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and aesthetics. I am interested in creativity, imagination, fiction, olfaction, and the experience of, and many relations to, what we eat and drink.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Geneva as part of the SNF Prima project "Creativity, Imagination, and Tradition" lead by Julia Langkau. Previously, I was an adjunct lecturer at University of Fribourg, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Luzern, a FNS postdoctoral researcher researcher at the University of Fribourg, and a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.

Wie können wir wissen, ob wir in einer Welt tatsächlich existierender Dinge leben - oder einer simulierten Scheinrealität?

Unsere Erfahrung erzählt uns von einer Welt, welche aus materiellen Dingen besteht. Sie lässt uns glauben, dass diese Dinge unabhängig von uns existieren.
