As a philosopher of science I work to better understand the foundations of science and especially biology. This analytic work informs my work as an ethicist, where I research how paradigms in ethics, policy, and philosophical anthropology are shaped by (sometimes unjustified) interpretations of science.

Before coming to philosophy, I did a degree in physics and mathematics at the KULeuven with a research stint at the Kavli Institute at Stanford. I'm also a professional violinist, having studied at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels & the Conservatoire Nationale Supérieure de Musique de Paris. I've performed in most major concert halls in Europe, and still do 15-20 concerts a year.
