About
I am an FCT researcher at the University of Lisbon.
My research lies at the interface of philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and the philosophy of psychiatry. Much of my work focuses on the nature and origins of delusions, as well as their epistemic standing. I am also interested in a broad spectrum of questions about belief and perception, such as the cognitive mechanisms behind belief fixation and change, their function, the difference between beliefs and other mental states, and the nature of perceptual justification and content.
Background
Before coming to Lisbon, I was a postdoc at the University of Oxford, funded by an award from the Mind Association. Before that, I completed my PhD at the University of Birmingham in 2020 under the supervision of Lisa Bortolotti. In the spring of 2019, I was a visiting scholar at Yale collaborating with Phil Corlett on research into Bayesian models of psychosis. I hold a BA and MA in philosophy from Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan, and a second MA in philosophy from Durham University.
