Short Bio
I hold a BA and MA in Philosophy from Aarhus University with a specialization in epistemology, metaphysics and cognition. From 2015-2017, I have been working at the University of Vienna before joining TU Wien in 2018. Since 2019, I have also been an expert in the EU Science Hub project on Human Behaviour and Machine Intelligence (HUMAINT).

Preliminary title of my PhD project: “Emphasizing Vulnerability: A theory-driven and interdisciplinary enquiry into the nature of trust between humans and agent-like robotic systems”.
