Gregory Wheeler

Gregory Wheeler (born 1968) is an American logician, philosopher, and computer scientist, who specializes in formal epistemology.[1] Much of his work has focused on imprecise probability. He is currently Professor of Philosophy and Computer Science at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management,[2] and has held positions at LMU Munich,[3] Carnegie Mellon University,[4] the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin,[5] and the New University of Lisbon.[6] He is a member of the PROGIC[7] steering committee, the editorial boards of Synthese,[8] and Minds and Machines, and was the editor-in-chief of Minds and Machines from 2011 to 2016. In 2019 he co-founded Exaloan AG, a financial technology company based in Frankfurt.[9] He obtained a Ph.D. in philosophy and computer science from the University of Rochester under Henry Kyburg.[10]
