Welcome!

I am an SNSF postdoctoral researcher at the University of Neuchâtel, where I am working on the project An Ontology of Production, Products and By-Products.

I do research on social ontology, metaphysics and applied ontology.

I obtained my PhD degree in philosophy at the University at Buffalo (2022), where I wrote my doctoral dissertation on the metaphysics of social kinds.

Here’s my CV.

I am currently guest editing, alongside Pauline Souman, the special issue The Metaphysics of Social Powers: Individuals, Groups, and Artifacts for the journal Metaphysics (yes, I’m shamelessly advertising the CFP on my homepage: feel free to send your best work!)
