"My research focuses on methodological problems in the economic, social, and biomedical sciences and on issues of political economy.

Currently I am working on the role of scientific experts in democracies and the impact of “pluralism of values” on socio-economic institutions.

I have an adjacent interest in the interrelations between scientific, socio-economic, and political institutions."
