My interests are in the history of philosophy, the history and philosophy of biology, the history and philosophy of psychiatry, philosophy of history, and the digital humanities. My speciality in history of philosophy concerns the development of German philosophy, logic, axiomatics, and philosophy of science from Wolff to Kant. In the history and philosophy of biology, my research has been focused on eighteenth-century physiology, teleology, embryology, natural history and animal cognition. In the history and philosophy of psychiatry, I have investigated animal models of mental disorder and the history of psychiatric nosology. I have intensively studied debates in philosophy of history and historiography. I am further working on various data-driven and computational projects in philosophy.
