Guido Bacciagaluppi

Guido Bacciagaluppi is an Associate Professor at Utrecht University's Freudenthal Institute, specializing in the History and Philosophy of Science. He focuses on quantum mechanics, the philosophy of probability, and foundational debates in physics. His research spans modal interpretations, stochastic mechanics, and historical analyses of quantum theory's development. He co-authored the influential book Quantum Theory at the Crossroads: Reconsidering the 1927 Solvay Conference and edited volumes on Grete Hermann and the Einstein Paradox debate. Bacciagaluppi holds editorial roles at journals like Journal for General Philosophy of Science and actively contributes to academic societies such as the Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi).

His education includes studies in Mathematics and Physics at ETH Zurich, followed by graduate work in History and Philosophy of Science (HPS) at the University of Cambridge. He has held positions in multiple countries, including roles at institutions in Australia, Scotland, and the Netherlands. Bacciagaluppi's work bridges technical philosophy of physics with historical scholarship, emphasizing probabilistic interpretations and empirical approaches.

Research interests include decoherence theory, Everettian (many-worlds) interpretations, and the philosophical implications of quantum foundations. He has published extensively on topics ranging from EPR debates to QBism critiques, and his Erdős number is 4. His contributions to the field are marked by interdisciplinary collaborations and editorial leadership in advancing the history and philosophy of physics.
