Curriculum Vitae

I am a philosopher with a strong interest in the intersection between epistemology and logic. After obtaining my MA degree in philosophy in Copenhagen—specializing in epistemology—I pursued my passion for logic and rational reasoning at the Institute for Logic, Language, and Computation in Amsterdam. There, I focused on areas such as mathematical logic, modal/epistemic logics, and probability theory. I then undertook a PhD in the Arché Philosophical Research Centre at the University of St Andrews. My doctoral project “Logical Disagreement: An Epistemological Study” was supervised by Greg Restall, Franz Berto, and Jessica Brown, and I officially obtained my degree (without corrections) in June 2024.

Since then I have been working as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Copenhagen. Here, I have been developing a Bayesian approach to the replication crisis in psychology in close collaboration with neuro- and computer scientists as well as researchers working in cognitive psychology. Whereas my PhD work revolved mainly around deductive logic and qualitative notions such as full belief, my current research emphasises the importance of inductive reasoning in scientific inference and quantitative notions like credences (i.e., fine-grained degrees of belief).


My current work in Copenhagen (CoInAct) with Professors Thor Grünbaum (philosophy of science) and Søren Kyllingsbæk (mathematical psychology) has a special focus on the role of formal modelling in the replication of empirical experiments.
