I am a physician-scientist, a philosopher of science, and a theologian.

As a Ph.D. student in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Notre Dame, my work aims to understand medicine's relation to shifting landscapes of biomedical research, and how such an understanding will inform medical ethics. 

Prior to coming to Notre Dame, I was trained as a physician-scientist at Charité Medical School, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. My subsequent career was divided between wet-lab research in transplant immunology (at Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School, where I also held a postdoctoral position) and clinical training in anatomic pathology as well as nephrology. I also worked for a Berlin-based health tech start-up that is moving AI-based image recognition into diagnostic histopathology.

My work in philosophy also grows out of a long-standing and ongoing interest in the history of science and medicine in Greek-speaking late antiquity, and the theological anthropology that it gave rise to. I hold a Ph.D. in Divinity from the University of Aberdeen, obtained with John Behr as my advisor.
