Author Information

Andrea Oldofredi is currently Assistant Researcher at the Centre of Philosophy at the University of Lisbon, Portugal, where he is working on a project entitled Understand Nature: New Insights on the Ontology of Quantum Field Theory, concerned with the metaphysics of the quantum theory of fields, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). Oldofredi also carries out research in the history of contemporary physics, focusing mainly on the developments of quantum interpretations. Prior to his position in Lisbon, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, where he obtained his PhD in Philosophy in November 2016.
