Uzma is currently a DDTF Student and works under Nancy Cartwright as her primary supervisor. Her general topic of interest is scientific models in the philosophy of science. In particular she looks at a class of models called 'Minimal Models' . They are a set of explanatory models that use idealisation as a central and ineliminable part of their explanation. First introduced to the literature by Robert Batterman, Minimal Models have been only used successfully in physics. Uzma aims to use Batterman’s Minimal Models as a springboard for her own theory, Local Unification that has broader applicability.
