Areas of Interest

My research revolves around contemporary philosophy and continental philosophy of science and technology. I am particularly interested in a dialogue between philosophical thinking, technology and science in the context of epistemological, political, psychosocial and economic issues related to the ecological transition and the digital transformation.
