Biography

Yotam Harel is a BA graduate in Philosophy, Political Science, and Economics (Summa Cum Laude) and an MA graduate in Philosophy (Summa Cum Laude), both at Tel Aviv University. He is currently pursuing a DPhil in Philosophy, aiming to figure out how people's reactions to scientific predictions might causally influence the value of the predicted variable and thereby problematize the practice of public prediction. Yotam's research interests lie mainly in philosophy of science, philosophy of technology, and metaphilosophy. Besides philosophy, Yotam worked as a management consultant and is keen on reading, cinema, and bouldering.
