Bio

I'm a philosopher, working mostly on emotion and communication. Currently, I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bern (Switzerland) as a member of the CoGS project. I'm also an affiliated member of Thumos and the ECOM research group.

Between 2021 and 2024, I have done postdoctoral reasearch at the Institut Jean Nicod and the Collège de France, as a member of François Recanati's group, and at Rutgers University, with Liz Camp.

My PhD dissertation, defended in 2021, concerned how theories in pragmatics and semantics need to be modified to explain our ability to express and understand each other’s emotions. It was co-supervised by Julien Deonna (Geneva) and Bence Nanay (Antwerp).

In 2016-2017, I conducted an empirical cross-cultural study in music psychology between India and Switzerland, some of its results are presented here.

Before that, I did an MA thesis on musical genres that was co-supervised by Jerrold Levinson – a big inspiration for me in aesthetics – and Julien Deonna. I keep a strong interest in the philosophy of music and hope to work more on it in the future.

I'm from Lausanne, Switzerland.
