Hi, I am Jakob. I do philosophy of science, and work on economics, public policy, technology, and biology.

Before joining Leibniz University of Hannover as a Doctoral Research Fellow, I studied Philosophy of Science in Cambridge and Philosophy & Economics in Bayreuth.

In my other projects, I help municipalities expand solar energy capacity, develop things for the web, and sing a cappella.
