I am currently employed at Maastricht University as a postdoc researcher. I work in the area between philosophy of technology and political philosophy. I investigate the hurdles that are to be taken on the road to a sustainable, technological society. I primarily focus on the energy system, and how it is connected to political and social structures. In fact, I think of technological, political and social systems as being of the same kind. I will further develop this idea by means of the idea of politics as purification, the basics of which I have developed in my dissertation.

I recently earned my PhD degree at the University of Twente. My dissertation is available online. Like my present research, my dissertation concerned the interaction between political and technological practices. However, it did not concern sustainability but genomics and how modern technological genetics interact with the style in which politics is conducted.
