Further Information
I am a doctoral fellow at the MCMP under the supervision of PD Dr. Martin Fischer and Prof. DDr. Hannes Leitgeb. Before starting my postgraduate studies, I completed my M.A. in Logic and Philosophy of Science at LMU, where my thesis focused on Potentialism in Set Theory. Previously, I earned a B.A. in Philosophy at LMU and spent part of my studies at the University of Tokyo.
Research Interests
My primary research focuses on the philosophy of mathematics, particularly Predicativism, and Potentialism in arithmetic and set theory. My dissertation explores their interplay and connection to various schools of constructivism. Additionally, I have strong interests in the metaphysics of Gottfried Leibniz and the philosophical contributions of Kurt Gödel, with a focus on their relevance to the foundational issues in mathematics.
