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 build a public dashboard on the state of the German energy transition with goal100.org, and sing a cappella.
