Jos Uffink is a Professor of the Philosophy of Physics at the Philosophy Department, University of Minnesota. His main interests are in the philosophy and foundations of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, and probability theory.
Giovanni Valente is an Associate Professor of Logic and the Philosophy of Science at the Mathematics Department, Politecnico di Milano. His main research focus is on the philosophy and foundations of physics. In particular, he deals with the interpretation of quantum probability, issues of causality, ontology and symmetry breaking in relativistic quantum field theory, and the emergence of irreversibility in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.
Charlotte Werndl is a Professor of the Philosophy of Science at the Department of Philosophy, University of Salzburg, Austria, and a Visiting Professor at the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics, UK. Her research explores the foundations of physics (in particular, statistical mechanics), the philosophy of climate science, evidence and the philosophy of statistics, and the general philosophy of science (in particular, determinism and underdetermination).
Lena Zuchowski is a Lecturer in the Philosophy of Science at the Philosophy Department, University of Bristol. Her research interests include scientific modeling; the methodologies of geomorphology and criminology; the foundations of randomness, chaos, and complexity theory; the philosophy of Poincaré; computing in science; and the ethics and political philosophy of Hannah Arendt.
