Welcome!

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Milan, where I work on the project The Normative Roots of Social Kinds (NORSK).

I do research in social ontology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of the social sciences.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Neuchâtel, where I worked on the SNSF-funded project An Ontology of Production, Products and By-Products. Before that, I was a lecturer at the University of Amsterdam.

I obtained my PhD in philosophy at the University at Buffalo in 2022, with a dissertation on the metaphysics of social kinds.

Here’s my CV.
