Biography

Donal Khosrowi is a postdoctoral researcher in philosophy at Leibniz University Hannover. His current research focuses on:

1) The epistemology and ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially focusing on generative AI in the context of scientific discovery and creative practice.

2) General philosophy of science; focusing on models, simulations, and experiments, including what kinds of features make these tools epistemically useful; what differences they exhibit; and how they interact in larger epistemic projects.

3) Philosophy of social science; especially focusing on what role non-epistemic moral and political values may play in formulating methodologies for evidence-production and -use.

4) Philosophy of economics; especially concerning causal inference from experimental and quasi-experimental data and how causal inference can be improved by integrating diverse kinds of evidence (e.g. qualitative and quantitative).
