Professorship for Philosophy, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence


I am fixed-term lecturer at the chair for Philosophy, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. Previously, I studied philosophy (B.A.) and computer science (M.Sc.) at Saarland University, where I also did my doctoral studies in philosophy. My current research focusses on machine ethics and machine explainability with respect to already available (non-sci-fi) AI systems. I am also interested in ancient philosophy and the philosophy of science.
