Hi! I am a postdoctoral researcher in logic at the University of Padua, working in the ERC project Inquisitive Modal Logic, whose PI is Ivano Ciardelli.

Before that, I was a postdoc at the Helsinki Logic Group, working under Jouko Väänänen’s ERC project Team semantics and dependence logic. I got my PhD at the ILLC, University of Amsterdam, under the supervision of Fan Yang and Maria Aloni, as part of the NihiL project at the ILLC.

I work on logics with team/state-based semantics such as dependence logic and inquisitive logic.
