About Me

I am a logician, hobby organist, esperantist and devoted backgammon player. I also occasionally write and translate texts about film or popular science.

My academic interests lie in the intersection of mathematics and philosophy, ranging from the philosophy of mathematics to logic and formal epistemology. I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Research Priority Area in Human(e) AI at the University of Amsterdam, where I am affiliated with the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC).

Before I started my job in Amsterdam, I completed a PhD in Information Science in the Logic & AI research group at the University of Bergen, under the supervision of Marija Slavkovik, Thomas Ågotnes and Sonja Smets. The thesis was about using modal logic to research agents in multi-agent systems who act unexpectedly, or try to take advantage of the system for their own gain. You can read my thesis here.
