Bitstring semantics at the interface between computer science and philosophy KU Leuven
This doctoral research will be conducted within the ID-N project 'BITSHARE'. This project focuses on bitstring semantics, which was recently developed within philosophical logic. The overarching goal of the BITSHARE project is to explore new applications of bitstring semantics in other disciplines. This PhD project is situated at the interface between computer science and philosophy. Topics such as causation, knowledge and probability are of ...

The explanation of qualitative properties in Neoplatonic philosophy of nature and metaphysics in relation to the Neoplatonic theory of science. KU Leuven
Developing a context-sensitive support tool prototype for interdisciplinary research using contemporary insights from computational linguistics and philosophy of science. Ghent University
The aim of my project is to develop a tool for supporting interdisciplinary research. The tool consists of two modules: a language module which enables the disambiguation of concepts which are central to the interdisciplinary research, and a methodology module which allows to explicate (potentially conflicting) assumptions on ‘causation’ and ‘explanation’ held by the interdisciplinary research team members.

Infinitesimals in the context of philosophy of science KU Leuven
In earlier work, the applicant developed a non−Archimedean probability (NAP) theory, which allows one to assign infinitesimal probability values to highly unlikely events. In this project, NAP theory will be applied to problems in the foundations of physics, such as zero−measure problems in statistical physics and Norton's 'mass on a dome' example of indeterminism in Newtonian physics.

Alliance Research Group: Logic, History & Philosophy of Science Ghent University
A first line of research for CLPS is investigating non-classical logics. This includes both logics that constitute a fragment of classical logic (like some paraconsistent logic's) as logic that are an alternative to classical logic (as some relevant logics). Important to us is to design and research on adaptive logic programs. Adaptive Logics (first developed by Diderik Batens, founder CLPS) provide a uniform framework for studying cognitive ...
