Dr. Fuchs' research spans public policy, political philosophy, work, innovation, and universities. His work bridges theoretical philosophical frameworks with practical policy applications, particularly examining how academic institutions function within innovation ecosystems and contribute to societal challenges related to aging workforces.

His academic credentials reflect rigorous philosophical training applied to contemporary policy issues:

• PhD (2022) from University College London's Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, supervised by Mariana Mazzucato
• MPhil (2017) in Philosophy, University of Cambridge

Prior to Stirling, Dr. Fuchs was a postdoctoral researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology (2021-2024) in the Philosophy & Ethics group, where he investigated universities' roles in innovation processes. His interdisciplinary approach combines philosophical rigor with practical policy development, focusing on how academic institutions can better address societal needs through innovation frameworks.
