I'm a PhD student in political theory at the Doctoral School of Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations at CEU. My research focuses on what children, parents, and society owe each other in unjust circumstances. In particular, I investigate what parents and society may permissibly ask of children.

In addition to my interest in the philosophy of childhood and justice, I am also interested in the methodology of political philosophy, especially of non-ideal theory; applied and normative ethics; aesthetics; and the intersection of philosophy and the social sciences.

My work in progress includes a paper entitled "Children, Custody, and the Costs of Promoting Gender Justice", which I have recently presented at the Warwick Graduate Conference in Political and Legal Theory, the POLEMO Symposium at CEU, and the MANCEPT Workshop at the University of Manchester.

Besides my academic work, I perform and teach music in Austria and abroad. I have lived, studied, and worked in Austria, France, the UK, and Egypt.
