I was born and educated in Milan, where I studied theoretical physics before moving to Paris and receiving a PhD in quantum physics (2002) and a PhD in philosophy (2014), both from the École Normale Supérieure. I am currently an invited scholar at the University of Vienna, in the framework of a collaborative project with the theoretical physicists of the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Vienna. 

Previously, I have been a postdoc researcher at the Institute for Advanced Transdisciplinary Studies of Belo Horizonte, the Department of Philosophy of the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Paris, the Institute for Advanced Studies of Marseille, the Institute for Cultural Inquiry of Berlin, the Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften of Vienna, the Ecole Polytechnique of Paris, and the Federal Universities of Belo Horizonte, Salvador da Bahia and Florianopolis. From 2009 to 2011 I was a visiting scholar at Stanford University with a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship. 

Besides working on quantum entanglement as an experimental physicist, I have published papers on the history and the philosophy of quantum mechanics, most of which deal with the so-called measurement problem. In these works, the measurement problem is not viewed as an issue to be addressed by physics, but as an instance of the kind of semantic and epistemological riddles the dissolution of which has occupied philosophers of the transcendental and pragmatist tradition since Kant and Wittgenstein.
