About me

I am a researcher in the history and philosophy of the biological and biomedical sciences at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Geneva. I am also an external member of the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy. My primary interests are scientific epistemology and the methodology of integrated history and philosophy of science.

I have an M.D. from the University of Bern, a Ph.D. in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Cambridge, and the Habilitation in Philosophy from the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich.

Previously, I worked for six years as Assistent (Lecturer) at the University of Bern’s Department of Philosophy. On a postdoctoral grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation, I was then a Visiting Fellow at Pittsburgh’s Center for Philosophy of Science, a Visiting Scholar at Cambridge’s Department of History and Philosophy of Science, and a scientific collaborator at the University of Geneva. More recently, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Cambridge and served as Professor of the History of Science (W3, Lehrstuhlvertretung) at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich.
