About Me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the AUSAD project at the University of Valencia. Before joining the VLC Lab, I worked on two research projects in the Philosophy Department of Bielefeld University that focused on teleosemantics and the metaphysics of biological dispositions.
My research lies at the intersection of the philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychiatry, philosophy of biology, and metaphysics.
In my work, I examine the nature and metaphysical basis of proper functions and modal properties.
I also explore how these can be incorporated into the sciences and philosophical explanations of phenomena such as representation, physical health, mental health and knowledge.
