• Education: PhD Candidature at University of Konstanz (since 2019)

His academic work critically examines how individuals derive meaning through existential commitments such as religious faith, political causes, or personal vocations. He integrates insights from moral psychology and evolutionary biology to explore normativity and human agency. His 2022 publication in Kriterion: Journal of Philosophy addresses practical identity and contingency, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach.

Teaching spans both German and English, with courses like "Gegenwärtige Aufsätze zum Sinn im Leben" and "Barbara Gail Montero: Thought in Action". No formal awards are noted, but his work bridges existential philosophy with contemporary ethical debates.
