About

1977: born in Melle (Germany).

2009-2012: Research Associate at Technical University Berlin: "Translating Doping - Doping übersetzen" (project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research)

2007-2012: PhD thesis, Technical University Berlin (currently under evaluation): "From reductionist representation to dialectical projection – remarks on modelling consciousness"

My PhD thesis is the result of analyzing and transforming the critical work Kant and Fichte into the contemporary discussion about consciousness and intelligence.

Now I am working - in collaboration with engineers - on robot's subjectivity based on a constructionist approach to human intelligence.

Beside my research I am interested in questions about stimulating creativity and motivation of young people who seek for integration into the working world.
