[February 8, 2021] A new paper co-authored with Job de Grefte has been accepted for publication by Ratio. We use an interventionist framework and formulate a new notion of lucky causation which we argue can be used to revive Goldman's causal theory of knowledge by overcoming the threat posed by environmental luck. Here is a draft version of the paper.

[October 1, 2020] I am really excited about starting a new position at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) today. I will be Principal Investigator of the DFG (German Research Foundation) funded research project Interventions and Mechanistic Hierarchies. I am very much looking forward to a great time with many new amazing colleagues at a terrific research institution.

[September 18, 2020] I wrote a paper together with Markus I. Eronen on quantifying proportionality and on what one can learn from it about the autonomy of higher-level causes and explanations. It has now been accepted for publication in the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science. If you are interested, you can access a draft version here.

[July 23, 2020] My paper on Christian List's account of free will as a higher-level phenomenon has been accepted for publication in Thought: A Journal of Philosophy. Check out the draft here. Also, the other paper on free will from a causal modeling perspective together with Maria Sekatskaya and Gerhard Schurz is now out in Erkenntnis. You can find it here.

[May 17, 2020] My paper co-authored with Maria Sekatskaya and Gerhard Schurz on free will, control, the possibility to do otherwise from a causal modeling perspective is now forthcoming in Erkenntnis. Check out the draft here.

[March 29, 2020] The German Research Foundation (DFG) decided to fund my research project on the theoretical foundation of inter-level experiments in mechanistic systems. It is a three years project and will start at the MCMP in October. I am really excited about it.

[December 9, 2019] The CfP for the next SOPhiA conference for young analytic philosophers is out (click here)! The next SOPhiA will take place from 2 to 4 September, 2020 in Salzburg (as every year). This time the plenary talks will be given by Marian David (University of Graz), Leah Henderson (University of Groningen), and Herlinde Pauer-Studer (University of Vienna). Please spread the word and if you are a philosophy (BA, MA, or PhD) student, consider submitting a proposal for a talk.

[August 12, 2019] Florian Fischer and I have a new paper on analysing dispositions within an interventionist framework forthcoming in Synthese. We compare the approach with classical conditional analyses and discuss new solutions to problems posed by masks, mimickers, and finks. You can find the draft here.

[July 11, 2019] My paper on fleshing out Stuart Glennan's mechanistic account of higher-level causation in terms of lower-level causation and constitution and causal Bayes nets has been accepted for publication in the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science. Check out the draft here.

[May 12, 2019] New paper on analogical reasoning within the Bayesian framework accepted for publication in the Canadian Journal of Philosophy. Check out the draft version here.

[April 21, 2019] New paper on establishing backward causation on empirical grounds accepted for publication in Thought: A Journal of Philosophy. Check out the final version here or the draft version here.
