Short-CV

Carolin Antos is assistant professor for Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Konstanz since 2018. She works at the interface of philosophy, mathematics and logic, having studied all three at the Universities of Erlangen, Frankfurt am Main, Venice and Vienna. She received her doctorate in mathematical logic at the Kurt-Gödel-Research Center (University of Vienna) in 2015. After coming to Konstanz with a Marie-Curie Grant, she has been a member of the Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Konstanz. She received a Freigeist-Fellowship of the VolkswagenFoundation in 2018 and has since been leading her own research group at the Department of Philosophy. Her work within the CHDS is concerned with analyzing the epistemic and cognitive dimensions of interdisciplinarity and how that can help in enabling interdisciplinary research.
