Welcome

Between April and October 2023, I will be substituting for Prof. Dr. Kristina Musholt at the Chair for Cognitive Anthropology at the Institute for Philosophy, University of Leipzig.

Otherwise, I am the Juniorprofessor for Neurophilosophy at the philosophy department at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, where I am also a member of the Center for Behavioral Brain Sciences. My work focuses mainly on philosophical issues in the neuroscience of consciousness, specifically the neural correlates of consciousness, the limits of introspection, the structure of experiences, the philosophy of psychedelics and of psychiatry.

Together with Wanja Wiese and Jennifer Windt, I am Editor-in-Chief of the independent, cost-free open access journal Philosophy and the Mind Sciences, where we aim to provide a sustainable alternative to for-profit publishing. Together with Wanja Wiese, I am the coordinator of the associated DFG-Project to develop this model further. To popularise academic philosophy, I contributed to the Youtube-channel of the German Society for Analytic Philosophy.

From 2019 to 2023, I was a PI in the research training group Extrospection: External Acces to Higher Cognitive Processes. From 2023 to 2026, I am a PI in the BMBF/DLR-funded project „PsychedELSI: Ethische, legale und soziale Implikationen der Neuropsychopharmakologie in der Psychotherapie – Vorbereitung auf die psychedelische Renaissance“ (Aachen, Charité, Hamburg, Magdeburg).
