Dr. Benjamin Hofbauer
Research Associate
Phone
Benjamin is part of the Systemic Risk research group, currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the DIRECTED project. Within the project, he mainly works on the development and implementation of the Risk-Tandem framework, a transdisciplinary multi-risk governance framework dealing with climate extremes that aims to assess, evaluate, manage, and communicate multi-hazard events. Apart from this focal point, Benjamin further works on the ethical and philosophical underpinnings of assessing and managing systemic risks in general.
Benjamin holds a Master's degree in Political, Economic, & Legal Philosophy from the University of Graz (AUT) and Bochum (GER), as well as a PhD. in the Ethics and Philosophy of Technology from the Technical University Delft (NL).
