I am a Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at the “Technische Universität” Dresden. My research focuses on decision theory, epistemology and the philosophy of logic and language. I have a side interest in metaphysics, especially grounding, and I am currently trying to better understand some aspects of practical philosophy that are important for a theory of rationality.

I have recently completed a project entitled “Knowledge and Decision” which dealt with various issues at the intersection of epistemology and decision theory (for more, see here). It was funded by the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) as part of their Emmy-Noether programme.

I also like conditionals, including counterfactuals. I am very much interested in better understanding their relation to conditional probabilities. For some time now, I have been revising my dissertation to turn it into a book manuscript. It was published with OUP in 2017. You can find a review for NDPR by Holger Andreas here, a review for AJP by Charles B. Cross here and a review by Justin Khoo for PhilReview here.

As for non-academic activities, I like to bake bread and I follow the rough fortunes of my favourite football team, Werder Bremen, closely. The pictures you see in the header are from a kite-surfing trip to Egypt. My partner is a philosopher, too – you can check her out here.
