I am a philosopher and historian of science and technology, working as Professeur (equiv. Associate Professor) in the Institut supérieur de philosophie, the Louvain Institute of Biomolecular Science and Technology and the Faculté de philosophie, arts et lettres at UCLouvain, in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.

I am the director there of the Centre de philosophie des sciences et sociétés (Center for Philosophy of Science and Society, or CEFISES). I am also a member of the Collegium of the Académie royale de Belgique and the Executive Editor of the journal Philosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology and Associate Editor of the journal Biology & Philosophy.

I hold an A.B. in philosophy from Princeton, and a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science from the University of Notre Dame. Prior to arriving in Belgium, I taught at Louisiana State University. You can find a copy of my CV here, and my e-mail address is charles@charlespence.net.

When I’m not working, I’m an avid marathon runner, clarinet player, gamer, and audiophile. For more info about me, click here.
