This page lists links to virtual counterparts of actual philosophers (or to their actual representations?). Each person is listed at most once, in the first category from the top to which he or she belongs. Disclaimer: apart from the first part, this page is far from complete. I appreciate any help in reducing its incompleteness: email me!

Co-Authors and Collaborators
Hajnal Andréka (Rényi Institute of Mathematics, Budapest)
Hajnal, István Németi and I collaborate on a project with the aim of clarifying the mechanism which creates closed timelike loops in some generally relativistic spacetimes. Hajnal is strictly speaking not a philosopher, but a logician.
Rob Clifton (Philosophy, Pittsburgh)
Rob, Brian Hepburn and I co-authored a paper on quantum entanglement which appeared in Physics Letters A. Rob will always be remembered as a paragon of collaborative work and I am very honoured to have worked with him.
John Earman (History and Philosophy of Science, Pittsburgh)
John was my dissertation advisor at Pitt. I was fortunate enough to co-author a paper on time machines with him. The article was commissioned by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and can be found here. Furthermore, John, Chris Smeenk and I work on a longer and more technical paper on time machines which is currently under review.
Brian Hepburn (History and Philosophy of Science, Pittsburgh)
Brian, Rob Clifton and I wrote a paper on quantum entanglement which appeared in Physics Letters A. Brian was a fellow PhD student at Pitt. He is on the job market this fall. Good luck, Brian!
Philipp Keller (Philosophy, Geneva)
Philipp, Stephan Leuenberger, Nora Nussbaum and I wrote an article on our teacher at Berne, Henri Lauener, who sadly passed away in 2002. Philipp is the coordinator of the Swiss National Science Foundation project on properties in which I participate. For a description of my part, go here. Philipp has recently won the prestigious and well endowed 2005 Lauener Prize for Young Talents. Cool!
Stephan Leuenberger (Philosophy, Australian National University)
Stephan, Philipp Keller, Nora Nussbaum and I wrote an article on our teacher at Berne, Henri Lauener, who sadly passed away in 2002. Stephan also participates in the research project on properties sponsored by the Swiss National Science Foundation, which starts in 2007. Stephan has recently won the prestigious 2006 Oxford Studies in Metaphysics Younger Scholars Competition. Cool!
István Németi (Rényi Institute of Mathematics, Budapest)
István, Hajnal Andréka and I collaborate on a project with the aim of clarifying the mechanism which creates closed timelike loops in some generally relativistic spacetimes.
Chris Smeenk (Philosophy, UCLA)
Chris, John Earman and I have written a joint paper on time machines which is currently under review.
Other Philosophers of Physics
Gordon Belot (Philosophy, Pittsburgh)
Gordon was a member of my PhD committee.
Jeremy Butterfield (History and Philosophy of Science, Cambridge)
Jeremy was a member of my PhD committee.
Craig Callender (Philosophy, UCSD)
Craig is my colleague at UCSD. I am very excited about the fact that I now work just three doors away from him!
John Norton (History and Philosophy of Science, Pittsburgh)
John was a member of my PhD committee. He entertains a really cool web site with loads of papers and useful teaching material. Check it out!
Laura Ruetsche (Philosophy, Pittsburgh)
Laura was a member of my PhD committee.
Philosopher Friends Not Working in Philosophy of Physics
Jim Tabery (HPS, Pittsburgh)
Jim was a fellow grad student at Pitt and a former room mate of me. He has recently won the prestigious award by the Philosophy of Science Association for best essay by a graduate student. Cool! He is now at the University of Utah.
Links to Other Friends
Jan Kazil
Jan studied physics with me at the University of Bern. He is still in physics: he works on athmospheric physics and is currently at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorolgy in Hamburg.
