Data science in psychopathology
This year I started a Vici-project
entitled "Gold Rush in the Data Mine", on the use of
data science methods in psychopathology and beyond. A
project page is in the making. An extended project
description can be found here.
Sustainable cooperation
Together with
sociologists, psychologists, historians and other
philosophers, I am a member of the SCOOP consortium.
We were awarded a gravitation
grant from the Netherlands Organization of
Scientific Research (NWO) for a research project on
the sustainability and resilience of cooperative
arrangements in society. Have a look at the page of the
project for more details.
Collective
attitude formation
Between 2017 and 2020 I was a member of a research
network on deliberation and aggregation methods in
groups. More information on this network can be found
here.
Between 2014 and 2017 I was a member of a research network focusing on formal methods in epistemology. More information on this network can be found here.
What are the chances?
Between 2011 and 2016 I ran a VIDI project with funding from the Netherlands Organization of Scientific Research (NWO) for a research project on single-case chance. Have a look at the page of the project for a further description.
Rationality and decision
In 2009 Olivier Roy and I won a research grant to hold a series of workshop with a European network of experts. We held a number of workshops and completed two special issues, one of Erkenntnis and one of Economics and Philosophy. More on the project can be found here.
Interventions and conceptual change
Between 2007 and 2009 I worked on a Veni-project about the elusive process of conceptual change and its relations to experimental intervention, as described in the philosophy of experiment and in causal Bayesian networks.
Progic
Between 2007 and 2010 Rolf Haenni, Greg Wheeler, and Jon Williamson and I formed the research group Progicnet. We have produced a joint book about combining probabilistic reasoning and logic, which came out in 2010 in the Synthese library. We also form the steering committee of the Progic conferences. Follow the link to see the full list of conferences. See Progic 2009 for the workshop in Groningen.
Bayesian inductive logic
In my PhD research I studied inductive logic and its connections to Bayesian statistical inference. My dissertation can be found here.
