Education

• M.A. in Philosophy and English Linguistics, Christiania Albertina University at Kiel (2009)
• Ph.D. in Philosophy, Tilburg University (2014)

Research Interests

• Formal natural language semantics at the intersection of logic and philosophy of language
• Specializing in type-logical semantics, hyper-intensionality, attitude reports, and two-dimensional semantics
• Exploring information-dependence and the effectiveness of natural language interpretations

Key Affiliations

• MCMP at LMU Munich (since 2014)
• Principal Investigator, DFG-funded project (since 2015)

Research Trends
Kristina's work focuses on foundational questions in formal semantics, combining logical frameworks with philosophical analysis to model meaning in natural language. Her recent projects emphasize unification strategies in intensional semantics and context-sensitive interpretation mechanisms.
