Fabian Pregel

Fabian Pregel is a Career Development Fellow in Philosophy at Christ Church, University of Oxford, where he serves as Director of Studies for Mathematics & Philosophy, Computer Science & Philosophy, and Psychology, Philosophy & Linguistics undergraduate programs. He is affiliated with the Department of Philosophy at the University of Oxford.

His academic credentials include:

• BA Philosophy, Politics and Economics (University of Oxford, 2009)
• MSc Econometrics & Mathematical Economics (London School of Economics, 2011)

Dr. Pregel's research centers on logic's intersection with philosophy of mathematics, epistemology, and computer science. He investigates foundational questions in mathematics, historical analytic philosophy, and logical applications to scientific reasoning, with specific focus on neo-logicism, Gödelian incompleteness, and Bayesian confirmation theory.

His recent publications demonstrate concentrated expertise in philosophy of mathematics, addressing neo-logicism's challenges through Gödel's theorems and deductive reasoning frameworks. He also engages with philosophy of science problems like the old evidence dilemma, bridging historical analytic traditions with contemporary logical analysis.

He received the Mind Graduate Essay Prize for his work on neo-logicism.

As Director of Studies, Dr. Pregel oversees undergraduate education across three interdisciplinary programs. His pre-academic career at Goldman Sachs as a credit structurer and startup investor informs his interdisciplinary philosophical approach.
