Pierre Uzan is a professor of Physical Science at the French Student Health Foundation. He teaches Philosophy of Science at the Catholic University of Paris and is an associated researcher at the Paris laboratory of Human and Artificial Cognition (CHArt). His research interests are in quantum theory, its generalizations and in their fields of application. He wrote the book Conscience et Physique Quantique, published by Vrin (Paris), and is currently working on the usage of the concepts of complementarity and entanglement to deal with the mind-body problem.
