Tamar Lando

Tamar Lando is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University, affiliated with the School of Arts and Sciences. She holds a B.A. in Philosophy from Stanford University (2002), an M.A. in Mathematics from UC Berkeley (2008), and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from UC Berkeley (2012). Her research focuses on logic and epistemology, with specializations in modal logic, topological and probabilistic semantics, and philosophical theories of chance, coincidence, and luck. She joined Columbia in 2012 after completing her doctoral studies.

Her work bridges formal logic, mathematics, and philosophy, with notable contributions to region-based theories of space, measure-theoretic semantics, and causal explanation. Her photography, exhibited in venues like the Autry Museum, explores landscapes such as the Mimbres River Valley, reflecting her dual passion for academic and artistic expression.
