Recent research
My recent non-English publications concern such topics as the historical and contemporary classification of physical theories from the point of view of variational principles and the physical significance of the energy-momentum conservation law.
My English paper “25 years to empirical statuses of theoretical symmetries: outcomes and perspectives” seems to be close to acceptance… Stay tuned!
Basics on my primary topics of research
Distinction
I have got a 2nd place in the 2018 competition for the Young Researchers Prize of the Société de Philosophie des Sciences for my article “Local symmetries with direct empirical status, gauge symmetries, and the empirical approach”, available at PhilSci-Archive [link]
Online texts
“Bessel-Hagen on the extension of Noether’s theorems and their application to classical electromagnetism”, my second Master thesis defended at the University of Strasbourg on 08/09/2020, available at arXiv [link]
“Direct and indirect empirical statuses compared to the Newtonian and Leibnizian interpretations of theoretical symmetries in physics”, a 9-page paper presented at the 2nd Irvine-London-Munich-PoliMi-Salzburg (ILMPS) Conference in Philosophy and Foundations of Physics, 02-03/09/2019, available at PhilSci-Archive [link]
Book reviews

A review [in French] of the book Time of Nature and the Nature of Time: Philosophical Perspectives of Time in Natural Sciences, Christophe Bouton and Philippe Huneman (eds.), Springer, 2017, published in the Revue philosophique de Louvain, 2017, 115(4), pp. 716–720 [link] [pdf] [read]
Editing and reviewing
I am editing a special issue on symmetries in philosophy of physics. If you wish your manuscript to be considered for publication there, you can send me its title, abstract and your affiliation.
I have done some reviewing for the European Journal for Philosophy of Science, Foundations of Physics, Journal for General Philosophy of Science and other journals.
