Finn is a doctoral student at Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and Humboldt University Berlin. He studied physics with a minor in philosophy at Freie Universität Berlin and Universidad Autònoma de Barcelona. Already during his studies, he developed a passion for interdisciplinary work between natural and social sciences that made him organize seminars on science-society interactions and interdisciplinary colloquia on the philosophy of economics.
