I completed my FWO-funded PhD in 2016 with a dissertation on the relation between ethics, philosophical anthropology, and ontology in the philosophy of Charles Taylor at the University of Antwerp. I was also a FWO-postdoctoral researcher from 2017 to 2020 at the University of Antwerp. My teaching and research interests are situated at the intersections of ethics, hermeneutics, philosophical anthropology, metaphysics, and phenomenology.
