About

I am Deniz Sarikaya a postdoctoral researcher of the Ethical innovation Hub of the Universität zu Lübeck" (Chair C. Herzog) Before that (and partly overlapping) I was a postdoctoral researcher within the FWO-project "The Epistemology of Big Data: Mathematics and the Critical Research Agenda on Data Practices" (PIs P. Allo and K. Franҫois, both Vrije Universiteit Brussel). I was shortly a postdoctoral researcher funded by the DAAD-Kurzzeitstipendium with the project Theoretical virtues of conjectures and open questions in mathematical practice. (Hosts at the University of Copenhagen: Henrik Kragh Sørensen and Mikkel Willum Johansen. Host at Technical University of Denmark - DTU: Karl Heuer) I am also a guest of the Bereich Mathematische Logik und interdisziplinäre Anwendungen der Logik, chair: Benedikt Löwe, of the Mathematical Department of the University of Hamburg (UHH). I am an external member of the Arbeitsgruppe of Benjamin Rott at the Institut für Mathematikdidaktik of the University of Cologne, and I am part of the Frame branch of Naproche. I finished my PhD in Philosophy (and the moral sciences) under the super vision of Ulrich Gähde (Hamburg) and Bart van Kerkhove (Brussels) at the Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) funded by the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes (German Academic Scholarship Foundation) with additional ideal support by the Claussen-Simon-Stiftung. This project is augmented through a stay at the ETH Zurich, digital visits of the Institute for Basic Science (KOR) and the VaViM Project. I studied philosophy (MA 2016, BA 2012) and mathematics (MSc 2019, BSc 2015) at the UHH focusing on philosophy of science | mathematics, logic and discrete mathematics. These studies were augmented through stays at the Institute for Logic Language and Computation of the Universiteit van Amsterdam, the Universitat de Barcelona and a term as a visiting student researcher at the University of California Berkeley and a research internship at the University of British Columbia.
