Since August 2019, I am a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy and the PPE Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have previously been a Research Associate at Chapman University, a temporary Associate Professor at Bielefeld University, an Assistant Professor at the University of Hamburg, and a visiting scholar at the University of Arizona. I earned my Habilitation in philosophy from the University of Hamburg in 2015 and my Ph.D. from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2008. Munich is also where I was born and raised.
I mainly work in political philosophy/political theory. My main research interests are compromises and political morality beyond justice, political authority and legitimacy, and property rights and distributive justice. I won the 2017 Sanders Prize in Political Philosophy for my paper "Rescuing Public Justification from Public Reason Liberalism". I talk about some of my research in an interview with 3:am magazine from September 2017.
