Bio

I am Duygu Uygun-Tunç. I am a philosopher interested in epistemology and philosophy of science. In particular I think and write on scientific methodology, the role of intellectual virtues and vices in scientific inquiry, social aspects of scientific knowledge and the properties of epistemic systems.

I work as a Collegiate Assistant Professor and Harper-Schmidt Fellow at the University of Chicago. Previously I ran the research project Extended Scientific Virtue, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. You can find the project summary and extended project description here.

I finished my PhD at Heidelberg University and the University of Helsinki in October 2020. My dissertation Communication and the Origins of Personhood is accessible here and here.

You can find my blog on epistemology of science here.
