He has published widely on embodied agency, body cognition, and reductionism in philosophy of mind. Recent contributions include articles on artificial agency (2025), the aesthetics of magic (2023), and schizophrenia-related agency disorders (2023). He has held lectureships at institutions like the University of Hamburg and organized symposiums on topics like Ruth Millikan’s work (2021).
