I am a PhD Candidate in Philosophy with the Ethics and Political Philosophy Group at the Vrije Universiteit (VU) in Amsterdam. Before starting a PhD project, I completed an MSc in Molecular Neuroscience (University of Amsterdam) which I combined with the MA Philosophy of Neuroscience (Vrije Univeriteit Amsterdam). I am currently working on questions related to collective action and reasons to cooperate in big groups.

Personal information
Research
My research focuses on the question of what reasons people have to cooperate in large-scale projects (such as resolving problem related to climate change or a pandemic), when their individual contribution to these projects is costly for them, and of negligable significance for the success of the outcome.
My project is situated in a collaborative research group titled "The Ethics of Cooperation" in which we (dr. Jan-Willem Wieland, dr. Phil Robichaud, Dominik Boll and myself) work on this problem from different angles.
