I’m a philosopher with core research interests in Early Modern Rationalism, Kant, and German Idealism. Where possible, I connect my historical research with contemporary discussions in metaphysics and epistemology.

Currently, I’m a Postdoc at the University of Zurich, supported by a grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation. Before, I was a Visiting Fellow at Princeton University and Humboldt University Berlin.

My main project concerns Kant’s metaphysics of existence and modality. I develop a ‘Meinongian’ reading of Kant, according to which his theory of modality crucially relies on an ontology of non-existent objects.

On October 19, I’ll speak on Kant’s metaphysics of merely possible objects at the NAKS Biennial at McGill University in Montréal.

Between November 14-15, I’ll give a talk about the fate of special metaphysics in Kant’s critical philosophy to the Midwest Study Group of NAKS at the University of Notre Dame.

I’m a proud member of the editorial committee of Dialectica.
