Arthur Van Camp

Welcome to my web page! I am a research associate at the University of Bristol in the Department of Philosophy under prof. Jason Konek. I started in September 2020. Before, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Université de Technologie de Compiègne (France) in the department Heudiasyc under prof. Sébastien Destercke.

Arthur Van Camp

From September 2011 until January 2018 I was a PhD student the Department of Electronics and Information systems at Ghent University, under the supervision of prof. Gert de Cooman and prof. Enrique Miranda. I obtained my PhD on 15 January 2018.
