Asst. Prof. Dr. Borut Trpin

I'm an assistant professor at the Department of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana.

I'm also a principal investigator on the project Scientific Discovery and Scientific Justification: A Coherentist Perspective at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Maribor.

Before that, I was a postdoc at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, LMU Munich (2019-2025), and a postdoc at the Department of Philosophy, University of Salzburg. (2018-2019). My PhD is from the University of Ljubljana (2018).

I work in formal epistemology and philosophy of science, building computational and probabilistic models of reasoning under uncertainty. My research centers on inference to the best explanation, coherence, and scientific disagreement, alongside related epistemic issues, aiming to clarify how normative ideals of reasoning interact with the real-world practice of science.
