Research Interests
Philosophy of ScienceMy interests in the philosophy of science are largely epistemological and concern the broad topics of scientific explanation, modelling, and confirmation.
|
Philosophy of PhysicsMy philosophy of science interests are geared towards physics, in particular particle physics.

Research Group: Epistemology of the LHC
My current research is part of the DFG-funded research group The Epistemology of the LHC.
I am working as the postdoctoral researcher for the Group B2: Model Building and Dynamics.
I am working as the postdoctoral researcher for the Group B2: Model Building and Dynamics.
B2: Model-Building and Model-Dynamics
The B2 group studies the changing landscape of models in particle physics.
