I am a philosopher located in the Bay Area. I have recently completed my PhD at the University of California, Berkeley. Before the PhD, I did an MA in Logic and Philosophy of Science at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, and a BA in German Studies and Philosophy at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. My dissertation is on Kant’s Theoretical Philosophy, but I am also working on topics in Aesthetics, Feminism, and Technology.
