Nicolas Michel

Nicolas Michel is a postdoctoral researcher at Bergische University Wuppertal, working under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Thomas Morel. His research focuses on the history and epistemology of geometry in modern Europe.

Michel investigates how technical developments in geometry correlate with evolving perceptions of mathematics as part of human knowledge and culture. His methodology integrates close textual analysis of mathematical works with thick description of their broader intellectual and cultural contexts, examining how such sources were produced, disseminated, and interpreted historically.
