FCT Junior Researcher Research group: LanCog
I am currently an FCT Junior Researcher at LanCog, CFUL, University of Lisbon. Previously, I held a postdoctoral research position in the Logics Group at the Institute of Computer Science, Czech Academy of Sciences. I was awarded a PhD in philosophy from the University of Alberta for my dissertation `Quantified Modal Relevant Logics’ under the supervision of Katalin Bimbo. My primary research focus is on relevant and substructural logics, especially first-order and modal such logics. I am currently working on several methods of developing first-order modal relevant logics on topic-theoretic grounds, including epistemic logics that model agents’ topic-based disagreements.
