Picture
I am a philosophy researcher, currently tenure-track assistant professor at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering of Politecnico di Milano. I primarily work in philosophy of science and medicine, with a focus on the role of data, digital technologies, and machine learning in knowledge production and their ethical and social implications. I am part of the META unit of humanities and social sciences at Politecnico and one of the coordinators of PhilHead, an interdisciplinary network on philosophy and medicine.
​
​Before Politecnico, I was a postdoc at the Institute of Philosophy of Leibniz Universität Hannover. I did my PhD as a member of the Bielefeld-Hannover Graduiertenkolleg 2073, a graduate school dedicated to integrating the ethics and epistemology of scientific research. Previously, I studied at the Science and Technology Studies Department of University College London and the Department of Philosophy of the University of Milan.
