Biography

I am a Principal Investigator of a DFG-funded project on epistemic virtue in the Department of Philosophy at the Friedrich-Alexander Universität in Erlangen (Germany) and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil). Previously, I have held postdoctoral positions at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), and the University of Leipzig. I was a graduate student at the Freie Universität Berlin, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Basel (where I received my PhD in 2010).

My current research focuses on issues in metaethics, epistemology, and philosophy of action. At the CRÉ, I will be working on developing and defending a virtue-based account of normative achievements.
