Prof. Carl Hoefer (Principal Investigator, UAB/ICREA)

Carl Hoefer has held positions at UC Riverside and the London School of Economics, and is now an ICREA Research Professor at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. His main areas of interest are in the philosophy of physics (space and time) and the philosophy of probability. He is currently finishing a book defending a Humean/reductionist theory of objective probability. In the coming three years of the project he will focus on causation and explanation in spacetime theories, with particular emphasis on Machian vs. substantivalist accounts of inertia. - contact - personal webpage -

Dr. Oliver Pooley (Oxford University)

Oliver Pooley is a Lecturer in Philosophy at Oxford University, and a fellow and tutor of Oriel College. His main interest is in the interpretation of space-time physics. He works on a number of topics that fall under this broad heading, including the substantivalist-relationalist debate, the status of general covariance, Machian approaches to general relativity and dynamical approaches to spacetime structure, as well as philosophical issues that arise in the context of quantum gravity. - contact - personal webpage -

Adán Sus (UAB)

Adán Sus studied Physics and Philosophy and has recently written a Master Thesis on the problem of energy conservation in general relativity and its relation to the symmetries of the theory. His main interests move around the interpretation of symmetries and conservation laws in physical theories; his hope is that this study will produce a powerful enough conceptual machinery to extract some of the ontological commitments of current physical theories. This is the framework of his present work: a PhD thesis that will focus on interpretive issues of gauge symmetries. - contact - personal webpage -

Prof. Mauricio Suárez (Principal Investigator UCM Project, and Overall Network Coordinator)

Mauricio Suárez has held positions at Oxford, St. Andrews, Northwestern and Bristol Universities and is at present Associate Professor in Logic and Philosophy of Science at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. His main research interests lie in the philosophical foundations of physics (particularly quantum mechanics) and general epistemology of science, and he has published widely in both areas. He defends a broad kind of pragmatism that does not skew but rather aims to assimilate and appropriate for itself traditional realist notions such as representation, explanation, warrant, causation, disposition or propensity. - contact - personal webpage -

Dr. Julian Reiss (UCM)

Julian Reiss is Ramón y Cajal Research Fellow in the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science at Universidad Complutense, Madrid. His research interests lie in scientific method (in particular the methods of economics and medicine) and science in the democratic context. His most recent publications include a monograph on economic methodology, which advances an evidence-based perspective on economics, and a monograph on causation, which defends a broadly fictionalist outlook on causal relations (both forthcoming with Routledge). - contact - personal webpage -

Dr. Iñaki San Pedro (UCM/UPV-EHU)

Iñaki San Pedro graduated in Theoretical Physics at University of London (Royal Holloway College) and has recently completed his PhD on causal inference in quantum mechanics at the University of the Basque Country, UPV-EHU. His research interests focus on the characterisation of the concept of causation, particularly in quantum mechanics, and how such concept is related to the idea of locality. More specifically, he is investigating to what extent Reichenbach's Common Cause Principle may be taken to ground causal explanations of EPR correlations. - contact - personal webpage -

Isabel Guerra (UCM)

Isabel Guerra is currently a PhD student of Philosophy at Universidad Complutense in Madrid (UCM). She graduated in Theoretical Physics at UCM in 2003 and, after teaching high school physics for a year, followed the MSc. in Philosophy and History of Science at the London School of Economics, where she graduated with distinction. Her research focuses on the foundations of physics, especially on quantum physics. More specifically, she is undertaking a critical assessment of the tenability of interpreting quantum probabilities epistemically. - contact - personal webpage -

Albert Solé (UCM)

Albert Solé graduated in both Physics and Philosophy from the Universidad de Barcelona. He is currently doing his PhD research work in Philosophy of Science at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. His interests range from issues in general methodology of science to more particular topics in the philosophy of physics, particularly in the foundations of quantum mechanics and Bohm's theory. - contact - personal webpage -

Dr. Henrik Zinkernagel (Principal Investigator, UG)

Henrik Zinkernagel received his PhD in philosophy of physics from the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. He has held a post-doc position at the Spanish research institute CSIC and is presently a Ramón y Cajal Research Fellow at the department of philosophy at the University of Granada. His main research interests are philosophy of cosmology, philosophy of time and philosophy of quantum physics. - contact - personal webpage -

Prof. Maria Cruz Boscá (UG)

Mari Cruz Boscá is at present Profesora Titular (Associate Professor) in Atomic and Nuclear Physics at Universidad de Granada, Spain. She received her PhD in nuclear physics and she has since been working mainly in many-body theories, on which she has published widely. In the last years her research interests have shifted to foundations of quantum physics, mainly to the topics of quantum entanglement and nonlocality, as well as the relation between classical and quantum physics. - contact - personal webpage -
