I came to Penn in 2022 from the University of Warwick, where I was an Associate Professor of Philosophy and the co-director of the Center for Research in Post-Kantian European Philosophy. Previously, I held postdoctoral and visiting positions at Columbia University, Sorbonne University, and Saint-Louis University in Brussels. In 2023-2024, I was a Humboldt Research Fellow at Freie Universität Berlin; I will be there again in Spring 2026.

I came to Penn from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, where I was an Assistant Professor. My interests are both historical (Kant, as well as 19th-20th centuries) and thematic (issues in ethics, social critique, aesthetics, philosophy of science).

I came to Penn in 2014 after a post-doc at Franklin & Marshall College and graduate school at the University of Nebraska and Princeton. I work in many areas of normative philosophy, from ethical theory to epistemology to aesthetics. I've written two monographs with Oxford University Press. The Importance of Being Rational appeared in 2018 and Knowing the Normative World: On the Epistemologies of Ethics and Aesthetics will appear in late 2025 or 2026.
