Jasmin Özel
I am a Postdoctoral Associate at the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota.
My research concerns the nature of psychological kinds and, more broadly, scientific constructs, with a current focus on belief in large language models.
I also work in the history of nineteenth-century German philosophy (especially Hegel) and in the philosophy of logic and mathematics.
