• Biography:

Dr. phil., Tübingen, 2007. I specialize in logic and philosophy of language. I did research and taught at the universities of Rostock, Tübingen, Greifswald, and Frankfurt am Main. I have been a visiting scholar at New York University (Philosophy Department) and a visitor to the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology (Computer Science Department). I received research grants from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the German Research Foundation (DFG). Currently, I am the principal investigator of a DFG-founded research project on the proof-theoretic foundations of intensional semantics.
