I am the project manager of the philosophical subproject of the AI NRW flagship project “Certified AI” at the Center for Science and Thought, University of Bonn. Before, I worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Digital Ethics (IDE) at Hochschule der Medien Stuttgart where I have been working on a project on the ethics of autonomus cars and at the European Network of Research Ethics Committees – EUREC Office, working on the projects PANELFIT and ETHNA System .
I am also a voluntary scientific collaborator at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). I teach ethics for computer scientists at the Hasso-Plattner-Institute and at DHBW Karlsruhe.
