ABOUT
I am a PhD student in philosophy in the Cologne Center for Contemporary Epistemology and the Kantian Tradition (CONCEPT) and in the a.r.t.e.s. doctoral school at the University of Cologne. Before that, I received an MA and a BA in philosophy from the University Grenoble Alpes.
My research interests fall at the intersection of epistemology and ethics. My PhD is supervised by Sven Bernecker, Christoph Kelp and Duncan Pritchard.
