About
From October 2011 to the end of March 2012, I'm going to be research fellow at the Bochum Center for Mind, Brain and Cognitive Evolution, where I'll join Albert Newen's research group on social cognition.
In May 2011, I got a PhD in philosophy from the University of Milan. During my PhD, I was a visiting graduate student at the Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science and at the Institut Jean Nicod.
My research lies at the intersection between philosophy of mind and cognitive science, with a special focus on social cognition and affective sciences. I've authored and co-authored papers on mental simulation, disgust attribution, and moral judgment in autism. I am currently working on mirror mechanisms, empathy, and the cognitive underpinnings of emotions.
