Horizon ERA Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of History and Philosophy of Science, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
Antonis Antoniou is a graduate of the Department of Classical Studies and Philosophy of the University of Cyprus and holds an MA and PhD in Philosophy of Science from the University of Bristol, UK. He has previously worked as a research fellow at the University of Central Lancashire Cyprus, as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of History and Philosophy ath the University of Athens, and as a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Bonn in Germany. Since September
2024 he is working as a postdoctoral researcher on the project “ANDROMEDA-The epistemology of dark matter and modified gravity” funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe Widening participation and spreading excellence programme.
His research interests focus mainly on the philosophy and methodology of cosmology and high-energy physics, with an emphasis on the philosophy of dark matter and modified gravity. He is also interested in the topics of natural laws in science, the concept of physical modality, and pragmatic approaches to the philosophy of science in general.
