ABOUT ME

I am currently an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, based in the Chair of Decision Theory and the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP).

My research lies at the intersection of philosophy of action, philosophy of mind, feminist philosophy, and phenomenology.

My Alexander von Humboldt project investigates how coordinated and purposive patterns of action emerge in unorganised crowds and to what extent individuals can be held responsible for them. 

Alongside this project, I am working on agency in childbirth and on how principles intended to protect women can themselves become morally burdensome.

My doctoral research examined the nature of desire and motivation, challenging Humean accounts and developing a phenomenological account of motivation. I have also published on motivation in depression.
