Example domain paragraphs

I am a postdoctoral fellow of the FNRS based at the Philosophy Department of the Université de Liège . From June 2023, I will be a MSCA postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Humanities, Social and Political Sciences of the ETH Zürich .

My areas of research are the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of logic, and geometric cognition. Most of my current work revolves around the nature of justification, representation, and agency in mathematics. I am approaching these questions in connection with related issues in epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of action. The overarching theme of my research is the nature of inference and proof in mathematical practice.

I received my PhD in philosophy from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel . I wrote a dissertation on mathematical inference under the supervision of Jean Paul Van Bendegem .
