I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Leuven Research Group in Classical German Philosophy at KU Leuven, Belgium.

Previously, I held a DAAD short-term research grant at the University of Potsdam and taught at the University of Toronto, where I received my Ph.D. in 2024.

My research focuses on 19th-century philosophy (especially Hegel, German idealism, and Marx) and social and political philosophy. I also have interests in early modern philosophy, 20th-century European philosophy, and the ethics and philosophy of technology.

At the moment, I am completing a book manuscript on Hegel's theory of institutions. I also have ongoing projects on the university in German idealism and Hegel’s ethics of work.

I currently serve as Vice President of the Hegel Society of America and as a philosophy editor for SGIR Review, the journal of the Society for German Idealism and Romanticism.
