I am a member of the chair since July 2019 and a PhD student with Prof. Holger Hermanns. I am also currently the main lecturer of »Ethics for Nerds«, where we teach relevant aspects of philosophy and ethics to computer scientists. Due to my dual background in both philosophy and computer science, I serve as a member of the Ethical Review Board of the faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science and also of the Commission on the Ethics of Security-Relevant Research at Saarland University.

I received my B.Sc. in computer science in 2017 and an M.A. in philosophy in 2019, both from Saarland University. As a student, I spent some time at the University of Luxembourg and the University of St Andrews, Scotland.
