I am currently associate professor at the Departament of Philosophy of the Universitat de Barcelona. My research focuses on the philosophical foundations of quantum mechanics and, more particularly, of Bohmian mechanics. More generally, I am interested in the connection between physics and metaphysics and a host of topics concerning the philosophy and methodology of science (explanation, representation, confirmation). I have also interests in the history and philosophy of yoga and the non-dualist traditions in India and elsewhere.
