After spending most of my life in a lovely country town in an area once belonging to the Most Serene Republic of Venice, and getting a BA in Philosophy from Ca' Foscari University, I moved to Amsterdam to study Logic at the University of Amsterdam. There, at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation, I met amazing mentors and researchers, and I am extremely happy to say I am considered an external contributor to the N∅thing is Logical project. I am now at MIT Linguistics, working in formal semantics on the general principles that govern entailments and grammaticality in natural language. Activities I enjoy besides researching and teaching linguistics include learning about music and spending (probably too much) time playing chess.
Here's a chessboard web visitors can use to play against me. Should your heart be bold and your hand steady, you are welcome to take up the mantle of White - if it's White's move. I will make my move next time I check the website. For life is an unending trial of courage and wit, yet when we meet it as a noble game, even struggle may be faced with joy.
