About me

I'm a postdoc in the DFG-funded project "Quantification, existence-entailing predicates and existential import" with Prof. Dr. Dolf Rami.

Before that I was a long time 'wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter' in the department of linguistics at the Goethe-University Frankfurt/Main, where I got my Magister degree in philosophy in 2010 and my Phd in germanic linguistics in 2019 with a work on the formal semantics of personal pronouns. I also spent a semester in the philosophical department at the Georg-August University Göttingen.

My research interest lie in compositional semantic in general, and in dynamic semantic systems in particular. Apart from working on pronouns, I am also interested in questions concerning the parameters of evaluation (and their formal representation), the ontology of possible worlds semantics, two-dimensional logic, and--of course--questions surrounding extistence and quantification.

Further and more detailed informations can be found on my personal homepage.
