- Co-head of Department (Philosophy)
- Co-director of Philosophy and Economics BA program.
I am Professor of Philosophy and joined the Department at the start of the Winter Semester 2013-14. I am also external member of the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, where I worked for two years as assistant professor. Before that I worked at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen in the Faculty of Philosophy. I have completed my PhD in February 2008 at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation in Amsterdam, under the supervision of Johan van Benthem (Amsterdam and Stanford) and Martin van Hees (Groningen).
I am associate editor of Topoi and Section Editor for the "Logic, Computation and Agency" Section of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (the latter together with Eric Pacuit and Johan van Benthem). From 2011 to 2020 I have also been associate editor of Erkenntnis. Since 2023 I am co-chair of the steering committee of the DEON (Deontic Logic in Computer Science) and the LOFT (Logic and the Foundations of Decision and Game Theory) conference series.
Areas of expertise
I study questions of rationality in strategic interaction, learning and belief revision in social network, structure and justification of norms, and the philosophy of shared agency. For this I use methods from logic, computer science, and decision and game theory.
