Hi!
I'm a Post Doctoral researcher at ILLC, University of Amsterdam, working on the ERC project New Foundations for Intensionality GOOD INTENSIONS, led by Luca Incurvati . Within the project, my task is to develop an account of the function, meaning and logic of proposition talk and to apply it to solve the intensional paradoxes of propositions.
More broadly, my research is in philosophical logic, with a focus on subject-matter, content and relevance, and their role in the definition of validity. I also work on substructural and connexive logics, and I have interests in the philosophy of mathematical practice and formal epistemology.
I obtained my PhD at the Department of Philosophy and Education Sciences at the University of Turin, supported by a doctoral scholarship from the Northwest Italy Philosophy PhD Program (FINO), supervised by Prof. Andrea Iacona (University of Turin) and co-supervised by Dr. Damian Szmuc (University of Buenos Aires, CONICET). In my PhD thesis I studied logical frameworks that encode different versions of a content inclusion relation between premises and conclusions in inferences. I remain affiliated with the Center for Logic, Language, and Cognition (LLC) at the University of Turin as an external member.
Before my PhD, I completed a BA and a MA in Philosophy at the University of Turin. During the master, I spent part of my studies at the University of Barcelona through an ERASMUS+ exchange and a research period for my thesis financed by the Philosophy and Education Sciences Department of Excellence (University of Turin), under the supervision of prof. Prof. José Martínez Fernández.
