He is also a faculty member of the Max Planck Neural and Behavioural Graduate School and the Tübingen Cognitive Science Programme.

Alongside his philosophical research program, he does research in cognitive neuroscience on body cognition and motor cognition with colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics and the Hertie Institute for Brain Research.

His honours include a Templeton Foundation ACT Fellowship (2017-2020), the Annual Essay Prize for work on multimodality from the Centre for Philosophical Psychology, University of Antwerp (2012), and the European Science Foundation's CNCC Essay Award for interdisciplinary work on consciousness (2008). As a graduate student, with the support of the Director of the Institute of Philosophy at the University of London, Tim Crane, he founded the London Aesthetics Forum together with Julia Peters in 2006. He is an Associate Editor for the journal Philosophical Explorations and an Associate Editor in Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology for the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
