Career
Fermé studied Computer Science at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, graduating in 1991. After that, he obtained a doctoral degree in Computer Science from the Universidad de Buenos Aires under supervision of Carlos Alchourrón and Sven Ove Hansson in 1999.[3] In 2011 he obtained a doctoral degree in philosophy from the Kungliga Tekniska högskolan under supervision of John Cantwell.[4] He has more than 90 publications in the area of belief revision,[5][6] including the books Belief Change: Introduction and Overview with Sven Ove Hansson and Non-prioritized Belief Change with Marco Garapa and Mauricio D.L.
