I work mainly in philosophy of psychiatry and psychology.
My research focuses on the boundary between mental health and pathology and on the notion of vulnerability to mental disorders - i.e., what it means to be at-risk of developing a mental disorder, or to transition from a healthy state to a pathological one. I am also interested in affect, emotions, and moods in connection with psychopathology.
I am Associate Professor of Philosophy of Science at the University of Bologna. Before joining the University of Bologna, I worked as Juan de la Cierva postdoctoral researcher at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), where I am still a member of the Lindy Lab.
I obtained my PhD in Philosophy from the University of Cincinnati.
