Professor Ney is a world-leading philosopher who has made influential contributions to metaphysics, the philosophy of physics and related fields. In the philosophy of physics, she is best known for her development and defense of an interpretational framework for quantum mechanics called wave function realism. In metaphysics, she has worked on topics ranging from the existence of intrinsic properties, on grounding, fundamentality, and meta-metaphysics. During her stay in Germany, she intends to write a book about physicalism.
