Education

I studied philosophy, German language and literature, and Catholic Theology in Münster and Munich. I completed my philosophical doctorate in the anthropology of transhumanism and the ethics of future technologies at the Munich School of Philosophy in 2021 with a scholarship from the Hanns Seidel Foundation. In my dissertation, I have examined how the understanding of the human being and the body changes with the use of new technologies. In the Graduate School ("Promotionskolleg") “Ethik, Kultur und Bildung für das 21. Jahrhundert” ("Ethics, Culture and Education for the 21st Century") in Munich, I conducted interdisciplinary research on issues relevant to the future and society in health and care, technology, education, psychology, culture, and sociology. Together with my colleagues, I founded neth:KI, the Network for Theology and AI. Afterwards, I worked at Goethe University in Frankfurt, University of Vienna and Oxford University.
