About
I am Chair of Philosophy and History of Science and Technology at the Technical University of Munich, where I direct the Ethical Data Initiative and co-direct the TUM Public Science Lab. Until 2024 I was Professor of Philosophy and History of Science, Director of the Centre for the Study of the Life Sciences (Egenis, 2013-2024) and lead of research on “Data Governance, Openness and Ethics” for the Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (IDSAI) at the University of Exeter, where I hold a Honorary Professorship. I serve as President-Elect of the International Society for History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Biology; Council member for the Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology of International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology; Associate Editor for the Harvard Data Science Review; and Subject Editor for Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy. I have been awarded many competitive grants including two European Research Council awards, “The Philosophy of Data-Intensive Science” (2014-2019) and “A Philosophy of Open Science for Diverse Research Environments” (2021-2026). I regularly engage in science policy and governance of data infrastructures, advising bodies including European Commission, Royal Society, FAIR-IMPACT and Italian National Centre for Big Data, High Performance and Quantum Computing. I have served as Vice-President of the European Association for the Philosophy of Science (2019-2023), Editor-in-Chief of History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences (2019-2023), Open Science lead for the Global Young Academy (2014-2017). I am the recipient of a University of Tilburg Honorary Doctorate (2023), 2021-2022 Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin Fellowship and 2024 Kluge Chair in Technology and Society from the Library of Congress. My 2016 book Data-Centric Biology won the Lakatos Award (2018) and Patrick Suppes Prize for Philosophy of Science (2022).
