Kim Solin

I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Gävle and an affiliated researcher at the Department of Philosophy. As a philosopher, my primary focus today is on existential philosophy in a broad sense and on Wittgenstein studies.

I am also an Honorary Research Fellow in Philosophy at The University of Queensland, Australia, and since 2024, a member of the Swedish Arts Council's committee for support of non-fiction literature.

I have previously held positions such as Head of Section in the Government Offices of Sweden, Senior Faculty Administrator at the Office for Humanities and Social Sciences at Uppsala University, and Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at Åbo Akademi University. Part of my doctoral studies I spent at the University of Augsburg and the University of Göttingen in Germany.

I hold a Ph.D. in Theoretical Philosophy from Uppsala University, a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Åbo Akademi University, and I am a titular Associate Professor (docent) of Philosophy at the University of Helsinki.
