Research group: LanCog

I am an FCT Junior Researcher at the Department of History and Philosophy of Sciences and the Centre for the Philosophy of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (CFCUL), in the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. I am currently the coPI of the FCT Exploratory Project Philosophical Investigation of Applications of Science in Mathematics (PI: Daniele Molinini).

Moreover, I am an External Member of the  Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) of LMU, an associate member of the LanCog research group of the Centre of Philosophy of the University of Lisbon, and a collaborator of the Center of Mathematics, Fundamental Applications and Operations Research (CMAFcIO). I am an associate editor for Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, and was part of the 2021-2024 cohort of the Young Scientists’ Seminar of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the MCMP, and before that I held an Assistant Lectureship in the Philosophy Department of the University of St Andrews. I did my PhD in Philosophy at the Arché Research Centre, University of St Andrews. I was very fortunate to be supervised by Stephen Read and Gabriel Uzquiano and to have Bob Stalnaker and Aaron Cotnoir as my examiners. During my PhD I was also a visiting scholar at MIT’s Department of Linguistics and Philosophy and at the University of Oslo. Before going to St Andrews I did an MSc in Logic at the  ILLC, University of Amsterdam.

My research is mainly in the areas of metaphysics, logic, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, and epistemology.  Among my current projects are (i) the development of a neoRussellian form of logicism about mathematics, (ii) the formulation of a novel, primitivist account of vague quantities and their logic, and (iii) the development of a unified conception of the metaphysics and normativity of belief and credences.
