I am an associate professor in Moral Philosophy (M-FIL/03, with Scientific Habilitation) at the Department of Philosophy, Communication and Performing Art, Roma Tre University. I am also affiliated with the Cognition, Value and Behavior research group at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.

 

I work on moral philosophy, philosophy of mind/action, philosophy of cognitive neuroscience, and moral psychology from an interdisciplinary perspective. My current research focuses on the philosophy and neuroscience of volition, action and responsibility. Previously, I have been an assistant professor at Roma Tre University, and a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UCL (Action and Body Group), at the School of Advanced Study (University of London), where I was also a team member of The Human Mind Project, and at the Chair of Philosophy of Mind, Faculty of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science and the Study of Religion, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. 

I hold a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Pavia and have been a visiting Ph.D. candidate at the Sage School of Philosophy, at Cornell University.
