Why Is Tarja Knuuttila Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Tarja Knuuttila is a Finnish philosopher of science. She is a professor of philosophy of science at the University of Vienna. Research Much of Knuuttila's research concerns the epistemology of scientific modelling, the relation of scientific models to the real world, and the connection between simplicity and generality of models, with varied fields of application including ecology, economics, and engineering. She is also the principal investigator of the Possible Life project of the European Research Council, which studies the philosophy of hypothetical types of biochemistry including synthetic biology and astrobiology.
