Matteo Valleriani

Research Group Leader (Since 1998)

Dr., Honorary Professor in History of Science at the Technische Universität in Berlin, Professor for Special Appointment, The Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas, Faculty of Humanities, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel

Matteo Valleriani is Research Group Leader in Department I at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, honorary professor at the Technische Universität of Berlin, and Professor by Special Appointments at the University of Tel Aviv. He investigates the relation between diffusion processes of scientific, practical, and technological knowledge and their economic and political preconditions. His research focuses on the Hellenistic period, the late Middle Ages, and the early modern period. Among his principal research endeavors, he leads the project “The Sphere: Knowledge System Evolution and the Shared Scientific Identity of Europe,” which investigates the evolution of the cosmological knowledge system and the establishment of a shared scientific identity in Europe between the thirteenth and the seventeenth centuries. A further focus of his research is on the epistemic function of visual material in the framework of knowledge transformation.


Matteo Valleriani is an expert in the framework of Digital Humanities and his current research embeds approaches and techniques of Complex System Theory as well as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence technology within the historical studies.
