Symmetry Group

On his blog "Taking Up Spacetime", Chris Wüthrich says: "I am working on all sorts of foundational issues in physics, particularly spacetime theories and quantum gravity, but also quantum mechanics and other areas of physics. But my work really intersects physics and philosophy, and I have considerable research interest in the metaphysics of science, particularly space, time, determinism, and causation, as well as general issues in the philosophy of science. I also have historical interests, particularly in early modern ideas, as well as 20th century physics."

Christian Wüthrich also has some very good advice on how to pursue a PhD in philosophy in Geneva: https://genevasymmetrygroup.wordpress.com/phd-studies/. It's written from his own perspective, but applies more broadly as well.
