I’m Klee Schöppl (they/them), a PhD student in Philosophy of Science at the University of Groningen and formerly at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP). I’m funded via the SCOOP program, where I research the epistemic merits and defects of competition in science (project 7.2).
I’m mainly interested in formal epistemology, and especially in the application of computational models to questions in (feminist) social epistemology. I’ve previously completed an MA in Logic & Philosophy of Science at the MCMP and a BA in Philosophy and Computer Science at the University of Regensburg.
You can take a look at my CV for more details, reach out to me via email, or find me on the usual channels: Google Scholar, ORCID, LinkedIn, GitHub & Mastodon.
