 		Research
I am a philosopher who is interested in the influence of computation on science and society. During the past years I have conducted an extensive study on the influence of computer based simulation on science, in particular in climate research (2002 - 2008) and cell biology (2009 - 2012). I am currently working on my habilitation.


Current Position
Senior Researcher, KHM Academy of Media Arts Cologne and guest lecturer at the FU Institute of Philosophy.
