Biography
I worked as non-tt assistant professor at the Institute of Philosophy and Scientific Method at Johannes Kepler University Linz from 10/20 to 12/22. Before JKU, I have worked for almost five years at the University of Notre Dame, first as a postdoc, and then as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Reilly Center for Science, Technology, and Values (with a joint appointment in the Technology Ethics Center). I have been instructor in the CODATA-RDA Schools of Research Data Science.
I hold a PhD in Ethics and Foundations of the Life Sciences from the European School of Molecular Medicine (aka SEMM) in Milan (Italy). This was the first graduate program on planet Earth to systematically embed philosophers in biomedical labs. I hold a Master in philosophy of information from the University of Hertfordshire, where I was supervised by Luciano Floridi.
Research interests
My areas of specialization is Philosophy of Science and Technology. In particular, I am interested in the aspects of the natural sciences and data science that stand at the intersection of ethical and epistemic questions. I have on-going projects in Ethics of medical AI, and in Philosophy of Science (in particular contemporary biology)
