Omer Batin Gul

I am a dedicated student of philosophy with a keen interest in the philosophy of science and metaphysics. My primary focus is on topics such as Emergence and Scientific Realism, where I hope to develop a deeper understanding through careful and rigorous inquiry. Coming from an engineering background, I approach philosophical questions with an interdisciplinary perspective that I find both challenging and rewarding. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Philosophy at Boğaziçi University and planning to write my thesis on Weak Emergence.
