Overview

My approach to the philosophy of science and technology is synthetic and practice-oriented. At UCSC, I focus mainly on philosophical issues concerning causality and uncertainty in the modeling of complex systems, as they appear in fields from civil and energy engineering to neuroscience and AI. This work builds on my previous project VINCE, which addressed the design and assessment of state-of-the-art mathematical models of climate change. Previously, as a Fellow in the FDS laboratory at Politecnico di Milano, I worked on issues surrounding reasoning under uncertainty and the logic of discovery, developing various applications to STEM education.
