Born in Vinnytsia, Ukraine, Khoma graduated with honors from the Faculty of Philosophy at the Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University in 1990, and defended his PhD thesis at the same university in 1993,[1] under the supervision of Professor Hanna Horak. Since 1990, he has taught Philosophy at the Vinnytsia National Technical University.

In 2000, Khoma founded Sententiae,[3] the first Ukrainian academic journal specialising in the history of philosophy, of which he remains the editor-in-chief. In 2015, Sententiae became the first Ukrainian philosophical journal indexed by SCOPUS.

Khoma is also a member of the editorial boards of the scientific journals Filosofska dumka (Philosophical thought),[4] and Visnyk of Vinnitsya Technical Institute.[5]

In 2003 he received the title of Professor, and since 2004 he has been the chair of the Department of Philosophy and Humanities at Vinnytsia National Technical University.[6][7] Since 2000 he has taught as a visiting professor at other Ukrainian universities, including the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (2000-2005) and Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University (since 2006). He is the founder and chairman of the Pascal Society, affiliated with the Ukrainian Philosophical Fund, and director of the Renatus Centre for Studies in History of Philosophy.

Khoma also participates in the Ukrainian branch of the international project European Dictionary of Philosophies: A Vocabulary of Untranslatabilities,[8] and is editor-in-chief of its "Epistemology" section.[9]

Khoma's main areas of academic research are scholasticism, European philosophy of the 17th and 20th centuries, contemporary French philosophy, Philosophical Untranslatabilities, and Ukrainian philosophical terminology.
