I’m a Bachelor’s student at the University of Vienna, studying ethics with a focus on social ontology: what communities, institutions and shared responsibilities are, and how they come to exist. I also study moral contractualism and the ethics of blame with Dr. Niels de Haan. Together, these studies have convinced me that shared problems can only be solved by people who understand what they owe one another.

I am doing research in social ontology, and since September 2026 I have been an official University of Vienna volunteer and a Circle U. student ambassador. I have also applied for a Circle U. Seed Fund grant as leader of GreenPulse Cities.

It is a student-led citizen-science project in which teams from four Circle U. universities — Vienna, Belgrade, London and Oslo — apply one shared fieldwork protocol to campus green spaces, produce an open dataset with a published quality statement, and deliver locally targeted policy briefs to university sustainability offices.

Leading an international team has taught me that cooperation across borders is a practical skill. It takes clear communication, shared goals and respect for different perspectives. I want to bring this mix of philosophical questions and hands-on teamwork to your mission.
