Biography
Having studied mathematics as an undergraduate at Darmstadt University of Technology, I completed a PhD in philosophy at the London School of Economics (LSE). Before joining UCC, I did postdoctoral work in Bristol, Calgary, Munich and Salzburg. My research interests are in the philosophy of science, particularly the philosophy of biology, the philosophy of medicine and the philosophy of economics.Publications
