Call for Papers: I am pleased to announce the CfP for a Topical Collection entitled “Scientific Progress via Model Transfer: Conditions, Limits, and Failures”, for the European Journal for Philosophy of Science, which we are guest-editing with Karim Baraghith. We invite contributions exploring when and how model transfer advances scientific progress—and when it risks misleading us. Info here!

About me
I am a philosopher of science with a primary focus on epistemological and methodological aspects related to the application of economic models in scientific and policy contexts. I am currently working as postdoctoral researcher in the ERC-funded project “MODEL TRANSFER" at Leibniz University Hannover. In my research, I employ a blend of conceptual analysis from the philosophy of science and quantitative methods from the social sciences. My work has been published or is forthcoming in leading journals such as Philosophy of Science, Synthese, Journal of Economic Methodology, and History of Political Economy.
Before joining LUH, I studied philosophy and economics at the Scuola Normale Superiore, the University of Pisa, and the University of Siena. I was a visiting scholar at the TINT Centre for Philosophy of Social Science at the University of Helsinki and the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University. During my doctoral research, I studied how economic theory is applied in legal proceedings.
