Bio
I’ve been a postdoctoral researcher at NC State University since November 2022. I belong to NeuroComputational Ethics research group and I assist Dr. Dubljević with the NSF project “Virtual Reality Simulations of Moral Decision Making for Autonomous Vehicles”.
I obtained a Ph.D. in moral philosophy in March 2022 at the University of Genoa (Italy) with a dissertation entitled: Sensitive to Reasons: Moral Intuition and the Dual Process Challenge to Ethics. Before enrolling in my Ph.D. program, I studied philosophy at the University of Pisa (MA degree) and the University of Florence (BA degree).
I work on issues at the intersection of moral psychology, moral epistemology, and normative ethics. In particular, my current research focuses on moral judgment and moral reasoning.
