Dr Chiara Ambrosio
Teaching Fellow in Philosophy of Science
About me:
I am a Teaching Fellow in Philosophy of Science at University College London. My research interests include the relations between art and science in the 20th century, American Pragmatism and the philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce, scientific discovery and general issues in philosophy of science, with a particular focus on scientific representations.
I lectured extensively on the connections between art, science and philosophy in the 20th century and I am currently writing a book entitled “Beyond Resemblance: A Philosophical History of Representative Practices 1880-1914”. If you want to know more about my current academic interests please click here. My list of publications is here.
I am a member of the British Society for the History of Science, The Charles S. Peirce Society and the Society for Philosophy of Science in Practice.
At UCL, I am a member of the Slade Word Image Forum, I regularly collaborate with the UCL Public Engagement Unit and the UCL Museums and Collections on a number of interdisciplinary projects and I served as a judge in the Graduate School Research Poster Competition in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
I am also the Cultures Pathway representative in the new UCL flagship degree, the BASc Arts and Sciences (BASc). More information about this exciting degree is available here.
