About me
I am a philosopher of science and molecular biologist, working primarily on philosophical and historical questions in the life sciences.
Soon, I will join the KU Leuven as a postdoc, working with the Ramsey Lab, and within the project ‘Boundaries of life: The role of self-organization in the transition from non-living to living systems’.
Previously, I was a Hans Przibram Postdoctoral Fellow and a junior residential postdoctoral fellow at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research (KLI).
My PhD was in synthetic biology, within the ‘Building a Synthetic Cell’ (BaSyC) consortium, working on synthetic cell functionalization and philosophical definitions of life as part of the Huck group at Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Before pursuing a PhD, I completed bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philosophy and molecular biology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
