Malte Vogl

Dr. Malte Vogl is a Senior Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology in Jena, Germany. His work bridges the history of science, computational modeling, and digital humanities, focusing on socio-epistemic networks and knowledge evolution. He has previously held research associate positions at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin.

• Contributor to DARIAH and TOPOI projects
• Developer of simulation tools like SciCom

Research Interests

Dr. Vogl investigates knowledge evolution through network analysis and agent-based modeling, particularly in historical contexts. His work explores:

• Epistemic communities in early modern science
• Socio-epistemic network frameworks
• Quantum criticality in many-body systems
• Temporal network modeling of historical communication
• Research data infrastructure development
• Mathematical epistemology of historical knowledge

His recent publications focus on simulating historical communication networks and analyzing archival data survival biases. He integrates computational methods with historical scholarship to uncover dynamics of knowledge transformation.
