I am the Junior Professor of Philosophy of Economics from the winter 2019-20 semester. My areas of specialization are game and decision theory, epistemology, and the philosophy of science, especially economics, cognitive science, and biology. My present research topics are strategic behavior in social-epistemic contexts, decision-making when there is ambiguity, and the evolvability of different types of cognition from a computational complexity perspective.
Before coming to Bayreuth, I was a postdoc in Hamburg (2017-19) and in Bristol (2015-16). These projects pertained to decision-making from the perspective of knowledge-first epistemology and epistemic utility theory, respectively. I received my Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University in 2015. My dissertation examines and reconciles the most influential concepts of rationality in the fields of Economics and Psychology.
