- Interdisciplinary research and philosophy of mind, brain and behaviour (especially situated cognition approaches)
- Anything with a "social" element, e.g. social cognition, interaction, coordination, and practices (especially folk psychological and mind-shaping practices).

Curriculum Vitae
I am a philosopher and researcher with a keen interest in cross-disciplinary research topics and practices. I hold a BA in Philosophy and Political Science from the University of Kassel and an MA in Philosophy of Mind from Radboud University. In March 2026, I joined the Institute for Electrical Engineering in Medicine at the University of Lübeck (UzL) as a research associate. Since then, I have shifted my focus from the traditional mind, brain and behaviour subjects to the philosophy and ethics of technology and healthcare. I am currently exploring ways to strengthen collaboration with engineers and developing methods for ethics education.
