About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the ERC-funded project “MODEL TRANSFER" at Leibniz University Hannover. I am a philosopher of economics with a primary focus on epistemological and methodological aspects related to the application of economic models in scientific and policy contexts. In my research, I employ a blend of traditional 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 the application of economic theory in legal proceedings, employing tools from philosophy of economics, philosophy of science, and empirical analysis.
