Theodore Arabatzis

Theodore Arabatzis serves as Full Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens since 2014, following progressive appointments from Lecturer (1997) through Assistant Professor (tenured 2006) to Associate Professor (2008).

His academic foundation includes a Ph.D. in History of Science from Princeton University (1995) and an Electrical Engineering Diploma from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1988), supplemented by post-doctoral work at MIT's Dibner Institute (2000-2001) and Princeton University fellowships (1988-1993).

His research synthesizes philosophical and historical methodologies across three core domains: theoretical frameworks in general philosophy of science, critical examinations of 19th-20th century physical sciences evolution, and meta-historical analysis of science historiography. This interdisciplinary approach bridges conceptual philosophy with empirical historical investigation.

Major recognitions include:

• Election to the European Academy of Sciences (2024)
• Presidency of the European Society for the History of Science (2020-2022)
• Corresponding membership in the International Academy of the History of Science (2019)
• Winning the IUHPST Essay Prize for History and Philosophy of Science (2017)
