Hey there!
I am an Associate Professor in Theoretical Philosophy at Cusano University, Rome. I’ve been a junior fellow and then an alumna fellow at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg “Cultures of Research (RWTH Aachen University) since 2021, and a member of the Labont – Center for Ontology of the University of Turin since 2015. From September 2025, I’m holding the “Trandisciplinarity and Research on Complex Systems” Chair at the Iméra Institute for Advanced Studies (Aix Marseille Université). During my doctoral studies, I was a visiting scholar at the University College Cork, the University of Lisbon, and Wuhan University.
My research interests lie in metaphysics and philosophy of science. In particular, I study the nature of emergent phenomena and the relationships between the notion of emergence and those of reduction, novelty, complexity, and causation. Also, I am interested in the philosophy of food. Recently, I have been working on food narratives and their relationships with climate mitigation and adaptation.
