Nick Huggett is a Professor (PhD Rutgers University, 1995) and his specialties are the philosophy of science and the philosophy of physics. His early publications concentrated on quantum field theory (most recently "Philosophical Foundations of Quantum Field Theory" in Philosophy of Science Today, Oxford University Press, 2003). Currently, much of his work concerns theories of space from antiquity to the present (e.g., Space from Zeno to Einstein, MIT Press, 1999; "The Regularity Account of Relational Spacetime" in Mind, 2006; and with Craig Callender an anthology on the philosophy of quantum theories of gravity, Physics Meets Philosophy at the Planck Scale, Cambridge University Press, 2001). He also collaborates
with Tom Imbo of the UIC Physics Department on the foundations of quantum mechanics (e.g., "Indistinguishability" in the Compendium of Quantum Physics, Springer, 2009). His book
Everywhere and Everywhen (Oxford University Press, February 2010) introduces a general audience to the philosophy of physics.
