Hi there! 

I'm Nicola Bonatti, doctoral fellow at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (LMU Munich), where I'm pursuing my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Hannes Leitgeb. I’m also a researcher in the DFG-funded project "New Perspectives on the Semantics of the Epsilon Calculus", led by Dr. Norbert Gratzl.

My primary research interests lie in logic and the philosophy of mathematics. In my PhD thesis, I explore historical, philosophical, and mathematical aspects of extremal axioms, i.e., principles that impose either minimality or maximality conditions on the admissible models of an axiomatic theory. Instead, as part of the DFG project, I’m working on a Kripke-style semantics for a conservative extension of Intuitionistic Free Logic with Hilbert’s epsilon-operator.

All the photos displayed on this site were taken in Scotland, where I completed my MPhil in Philosophy at the University of St Andrews (see CV ). Here you can also find my publications and a list of my teaching experiences.
