My research explores the intersection between science and information science. I study argumentation in science, the phenomenon of unreliability propagation in science, and the possibilities of applying neurosymbolic AI to automated scientific discoveries.

Dissertation Title: Unreliability propagation in science: conceptual foundations and mitigation measures

• CASOS Summer Institute & IDeaS Summer Institute Scholarship (2022)
