Aliya Rumana is assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Texas at El Paso. Her current research aims to characterize the tasks that experimenters design for and administer to both natural and artificial systems, and the significant roles they play in shaping and scaffolding the ways we explain, model and analyze those systems. This research spans the general philosophy of science and the philosophy of neuroscience, psychology and machine learning.
Rumana completed her Ph.D. at the University of Arizona and two postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Philosophy of Science and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg’s Centre for Philosophy and AI Research.
