I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vienna, where I'm a member of the Philosophy of Language Research group led by Max Kölbel. I'm also affiliated with the FWF-funded Cluster of Excellence Knowledge in Crisis, which brings together philosophers from four Autrian universities (CEU, the universities of Vienna, Graz, and Salzburg). The University of Vienna is also a great place to do philosophy because it hosts the Wiener Forum für Analytische Philosophie, a student organisation whose objective is to promote philosophical discussion among students and scholars.
I received my B.A. and M.A. in philosophy from the University of Milan. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Nottingham, where I worked under the supervision of Stefano Predelli and Mark Jago, and defended my thesis on meaning attributions in December 2023. During my doctoral studies, I was a visiting researcher at the Institute for Logic, Cognition, Language and Information of the University of the Basque Country, where I worked with Kepa Korta. Before coming to Vienna, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Bielefeld University, working in Christian Nimtz’s research group and in the CRC project Open Texture as a Source of Semantic Creativity.
My areas of specialisation are the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind. In the former, I am interested in the challenges that quotational and other hyperintensional contexts pose for compositionality, as well as in more foundational questions concerning meaning and reference. In the latter, my work focuses on intentionality and perception. You can find more about my research here.
I'm also an enthusiastic and passionate teacher. I have taught on various topics within both theoretical and practical philosophy at different universities. Further details about my teaching experience are available here.
