Overview: Philippos Papayannopoulos is an adjunct lecturer in the philosophy department at the University of Athens. His research interests lie at the intersection of philosophical logic, philosophy of science, foundations of mathematics, and philosophy of AI. Philippos’s work focuses on diverse conceptualizations of “computing” and “algorithm” across fields where these concepts are central, particularly logic, theoretical computer science, scientific computing, and computational cognitive science. His research explores the epistemic contributions of these concepts within these fields, as well as how differing pre-theoretic assumptions have led to incompatible formalizations across various scientific and philosophical theories. Philippos completed his PhD in philosophy in 2018 at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. He subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem from 2019 to 2021, followed by a fellowship at the Institut d’Histoire et de Philosophie des Sciences et des Techniques (IHPST) at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and CNRS from 2021 to 2023. He holds a diploma degree from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Physics at the Athens Polytechnic and a master’s degree in the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology from the University of Athens.
