Prepared for Anything: How a Pitt Humanities PhD Led to an Unconventional Career

When Spyros Sakellariadis (A&S ’80G) arrived at the University of Pittsburgh in the late 1970s, he wasn’t following a carefully designed career plan.

Fresh off a degree in physics and philosophy from Oxford University, Sakellariadis was fascinated by questions about space, time and the philosophy of science. After reading work by renowned Pitt faculty member Adolf Grünbaum, he decided he wanted to study with him.

What happened next was a lesson in the power of relationships.
