Soroush Rafiee Rad

Postdoctoral Researcher in Logic and Formal Epistemology

University of Amsterdam

Soroush Rafiee Rad (University of Bayreuth) is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of Mathematical Logic and Formal Epistemology at Bayreuth University. He is working on a project in collective attitude formation. Previously, he was a postdoc at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation at the University of Amsterdam and a research fellow at Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy. He completed two PhDs - in Philosophy at Tilburg Center for Logic and Philosophy of Science and in Mathematics at the University of Manchester. His research lies at the intersection of mathematical logic, probabilistic reasoning and formal epistemology and can be, most coherently, characterised by the application of sophisticated mathematical and computational tools to the study of problems in epistemology, with a focus on problems in social epistemology. He has worked on the application of formal methods in investigating concepts such as rational belief formation, probabilistic models for learning conditionals, dynamics of belief change, etc. For more information, please visit website.
