Profile
I studied philosophy with cognitive science, linguistics and history at the universities of Marburg, Hamburg, London and Oxford. After my PhD I started teaching full time at Anatolia College/ACT, Thessaloniki (4-4, minus buyouts). I was Stanley J. Seeger Fellow at Princeton University and James Martin Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. I am Professor of philosophy at Anatolia College/ACT, University Academic Fellow at the University of Leeds and Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute, London - as well as President of the European Society for Cognitive Systems and chair of the euRobotics topics group on 'ethical, legal and socio-economic issues'.
