Dr. Deniz Sarikaya: Award as a Young Academy Fellow 2024!

dr. Deniz Sarikaya from the University of Lübeck was recently included in the renowned program of the Young Academy Fellows of the Academy of Sciences in Hamburg. This recognition is only awarded to a selected group of promising young researchers. This year he is one of the seven newcomers who were selected for their extraordinary contributions to science.

The Ethical Innovation Hub at the University of Lübeck is the place where Dr. Sarikaya runs his research. In addition, he is also active at the Center for Logic and Philosophy of Science of Vrije Universreit Brussel. His work focuses on the ethical and social dimensions of formal methods, especially in the context of the rapidly growing artificial intelligence (AI). A central topic of his research is the alignment problem that deals with the responsible use of AI systems.

research focuses and academic career

dr. Sarikaya's interests are diverse and also include the ethics and epistemology of big data as well as the philosophy of mathematical practice and virtuous ethics. He completed his doctorate in philosophy at Vrije Universityitit Brussel after he had previously studied philosophy and mathematics at the University of Hamburg. This international character of his academic career moved into the research environments of numerous respected institutions, including the University of Copenhagen, the University of California, Berkeley, and ETH Zurich.

The Young Academy Fellows was launched in 2020 to promote talented young scientists at universities and research institutes in northern Germany. The program offers the Fellow a three -year support phase that enables them to pursue innovative research questions. In addition to financial support, there are also opportunities for interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary cooperation that are decisive for the development of new ideas in research.

The award that Dr. Sarikaya has now received a valuable platform to continue to pursue his scientific concerns. His work not only contributes to the academic discussion, but also a broader social dialogue about the ethical implications of technological progress. These questions are of central importance in our increasingly technology -driven world and require a profound and responsible discussion.

A more detailed look at the background and future project of Dr. Sarikaya will certainly prove to be exciting and relevant, especially since the role of AI in social processes as well as the underlying ethical questions are becoming increasingly pressing. The engagement of the Ethical Innovation Hub and his employees shows how important these topics are in the current scientific landscape.
