Hello, this is a personal page for Juan Acevedo, Anglozuelan graduate of the Warburg Institute. I am a Research Fellow at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, and since 2023 also a Visiting Lecturer for graduate and undergraduate students. I work at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, and I am affiliated to CIUHCT, the Interuniversity Centre for the History of Science and Technology. In 2024 I was awarded a six-year research contract by FCT, the Portuguese national funding agency, to work on a personal project titled “Merging Times and Techniques of European and Asian Science Through the Indian Ocean (15th–19th centuries)”—a spin-off and continuation of my work at RUTTER.

مرحباً والسلام، أنا باحث في التاريخ والأسس العلوم والصناعات في كلية العلوم بجامعة لشبونة.

I work on history and philosophy of technoscience through Eurasia, with a particular focus on Arabic-language pre-modern texts. With my colleagues and students, I take pains to work straight from manuscript sources and original languages, which means that we study a lot of philology (Arabic, Latin, Greek, and Romance languages in general), some codicology, and a lot of palaeography. We are now working on several digital editions of Arabic and Portuguese texts within the context of the ERC RUTTER Project. You can check out my profile and publications online using the links below.
