Profile

Biography

After my first jobs in Graz and in Innsbruck, I went to the US and received my PhD from Princeton. My journey back seems to have been permanently interrupted by my time here at York. After starting out with epistemology and turning, via decision theory, to ethics, I am now (in some of my work) moving back to epistemology.
