Jaakko Kuorikoski is a professor of Practical Philosophy at the University of Helsinki and a member of The Centre for Philosophy of the Social Sciences TINT. Before this, Kuorikoski worked as an associate professor in a cross-disciplinary New Social Research program at Tampere University and as a lecturer in Theoretical Philosophy at Helsinki. His main areas of specializations are philosophy of economics and philosophy of the social sciences. His current research interests include new kinds of data and evidence in the social sciences, philosophy of macroeconomics, scientific understanding, and model-based social epistemology of science. He is visiting Turin in October and November 2024.

I am a PhD candidate in a joint program between the Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands) and Ruhr University Bochum (Germany). My research focuses on formal social epistemology, where I investigate how individuals form beliefs within groups and how the social structure of scientific communities shapes inquiry. To address these questions, I employ tools such as game theory, Bayesian epistemology, and computer simulations. I am part of the Simulations of Scientific Inquiry Network, and of the Reasoning, Rationality and Science Group in Bochum.  

Currently, my work explores topics including scientific pluralism, socially adaptive beliefs, and epistemic trespassing. In February and March 2025, I will be in Turin, collaborating with Eugenio Petrovich on integrating scientometrics with philosophy of science.

I recently got my PhD in Philosophy from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) and I am currently doing a Postdoc at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) in Argentina on Logic and Formal Epistemology. I also teach Logic at the Philosophy Department of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). My main research topics are Indicative conditionals and Inferentialism. I also love to work and study non-classical and substructural logics with a particular interest in proof-theory. On the Formal Epistemology side, I just started to work on topics related to conditionals and voting theory. I am a member of the Buenos Aires Logic Group and of the Sociedad Argentina de Filosofía Analítica. I am visiting Turin from October to December 2024.
