Stefano Furlan joined the Freudenthal Institute as a postdoc in the ERC group BOHR 21. He did his doctoral research at the Max-Planck-Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte in Berlin, in cotutelle with the Université de Genève. Following and reconstructing the footsteps of the eminent physicist John A. Wheeler, he published on the history and philosophy of nuclear physics, of quantum foundations, of general relativity and cosmology, and biophysics; more specifically, on nuclear fission and the work of Wheeler's very first PhD student, Katharine Way; the early history of black holes research; the first decades of quantum gravity; and the first premonitions of quantum information and "it from bit". This kind of inquiries also led him to work on the history of Soviet astrophysics and to methodologically write on historical epistemology, on the relations between the history of arts and science and between science and engineering, on the intertwining between 20th-century physics and the history of philosophy (notably Leibniz), and on visual and analogical thinking. Since Niels Bohr was one of the main inspiring figures for Wheeler, joining the BOHR21 project was a natural follow-up to his previous research work, which will now get more focused on Bohr's legacy in physics, biology, and epistemology.
