CRISTIAN MARIANI
Adjunct Coordinator
I’Hello. I am a Research Fellow at the Istituto di Studi Filosofici (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland, where I am currently the PI of an SNSF Ambizione Grant entitled ‘Quantum Indeterminacy. A Metaphysics for Spontaneous Collapse Models of Quantum Mechanics’. I work mainly in analytic metaphysics and philosophy of science, and am particularly interested in the interactions between these two fields. In the last years I have been focusing on the topic of metaphysical indeterminacy, especially as applied to quantum physics, and have published a few works on this. My other research interests are in the philosophy of time, the metaphysics of science broadly construed (laws, causation, emergence), and the foundations of quantum mechanics. I support FC Inter Milan. My personal website is here: https://cristianmariani.weebly.com/.
