Presentation

”My focus is words - and what we can do with them"

I investigate the vast potential of human language as combined with other carriers of communicative content (pictures, labels, texture, smell, taste) for shaping the world around us and our understanding of it - e.g. when  developing new product ideas, manoeuvre across clashing legal orders, or developing scientific theories.
