POST-DOCTORaL RESEARCHER IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE LIFE SCIENCES
UTRECHT UNIVERSITY
I am a Post-Doctoral researcher in the field of the philosophy of the life sciences (Postdoc.Mobility funding by SNSF, the Swiss National Science Foundation).
I am especially interested by conceptual issues concerning evolutionary biology, ecology and the interactions between health and environment.Â
In the last decade, my research has especially concerned the relationships between evolutionary theory and the idea of progress (monograph coming soon).
My present Post-doctoral project is rather oriented towards the study of the interactions between health and environment, focussing on the "One Health" approach.
Since 2013, my research has been undertaken in parallel with a teaching activity. I have been teaching mainly (but not only) classes related to philosophy of science, for students of Bachelor and Master having different backgrounds, such as biology, agronomy and humanities.
