I am currently an assistant professor of philosophy at Boston College. Prior to joining Boston College, I was the recipient of a Humboldt Research Fellowship for Post-doctoral Researchers at the University of Cologne.
Between 2016 and 2019, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow funded by the Irish Research Council at the UCD School of Philosophy. Before receiving the grant from the IRC, I held a Newman Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Newman Foundation at UCD (2014-2016).
I specialize in modern and contemporary European philosophy across different traditions, including post-Kantian philosophy (esp. Hegel) and phenomenology. My Ph.D was funded by the Scuola Normale Superiore (SNS) in Pisa (Italy), and it was partly completed at the Philosophy Department of the University of Heidelberg (Germany). My doctoral project explored the role of self-reference in both Hegel's logic and philosophy of mind. I argued against the traditional divide between logic and subjective spirit in Hegel's philosophy in order to justify the necessity of self-reference across the Science of Logic and the Philosophy of Subjective Spirit.
As a recipient of a five-year undergraduate scholarship at the Scuola Normale Superiore, I had the chance to study and research in depth the classics of Western philosophy. I wrote a dissertation on Plato's view of negation and difference in Theaetetus and The Sophist to earn my Diploma in philosophy from the SNS.
My current research interests are equally distributed across Hegel and German Idealism, and classical phenomenology (esp. Husserl, Stein, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, and Arendt). To learn more about this, please visit my research and publications pages.
