I am an FCT Junior Researcher at the Department of History and Philosophy of Sciences, in the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, and a Full Member of the LanCog research group of the Centre of Philosophy of the University of Lisbon. Moreover, I am an External Member of the  Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) of LMU. Currently, I am also an associate editor for Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy.

I was up until recently a member of the 
Young Scientists' Seminar of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, and the coPI of the FCT Exploratory Project Philosophical Investigation of Applications of Science in Mathematics (PI: Daniele Molinini).

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the MCMP, and before that I held an Assistant Lectureship in the Philosophy Department of the University of St Andrews. ​I did my PhD in Philosophy at the Arché Research Centre, University of St Andrews. I was very fortunate to be supervised by Stephen Read and Gabriel Uzquiano and to have Bob Stalnaker and Aaron Cotnoir as my examiners. During my PhD I was also a visiting scholar at MIT's Department of Linguistics and Philosophy and at the University of Oslo. Before going to St Andrews I did an MSc in Logic at the  ILLC, University of Amsterdam.

​
My research is mainly in the areas of metaphysics, logic, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, and epistemology.  My current projects are on logicism, vagueness, metaphysics of modality, and epistemic normativity. I have also worked on the semantics of 'knowing wh-' constructions, proof theoretic stability, hylomorphic mereology, theoretical equivalence in metaphysics and the normativity of logic.
