My research focuses on Theodor W. Adorno's aesthetics, in particular his comprehension of the relationship between art, nature, and animals. Other research interests include early German romanticism and idealism, especially Hölderlin and Schelling. I have been Visiting Scholar at the Department of Philosophy, Columbia University (2010) and at the Faculty of English, University of Cambridge (2014).
