Gregory Wheeler (born 1968) is an American logician, philosopher, and computer scientist, who specializes in formal epistemology.^[1] Much of his work has focused on imprecise probability. He is currently Professor of Philosophy and Computer Science at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management,^[2] and has held positions at LMU Munich,^[3] Carnegie Mellon University,^[4] the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin,^[5] and the New University of Lisbon.^[6] He is a member of the PROGIC^[7] steering committee, the editorial boards of Synthese,^[8] and Minds and Machines, and was the editor-in-chief of Minds and Machines from 2011 to 2016. He obtained a Ph.D. in philosophy and computer science from the University of Rochester under Henry Kyburg.^[9]
