About

I am a postdoctoral fellow and lecturer at the University of Graz (Austria), involved in the Knowledge in Crisis project. In addition, I am an associated staff member at the Husserl Archives at KU Leuven (Belgium). My research focuses on issues at the intersection of phenomenology, ethics, epistemology, and feminist philosophy. 

Before joining the University of Graz, I was a postdoctoral fellow at KU Leuven and at the University of Fribourg. In addition, I worked as a research assistant at the University of Montreal and was affiliated with the Cologne Center for Contemporary Epistemology and the Kantian Tradition (CONCEPT), as well as with the Husserl Archive at the University of Cologne. 
​
I obtained my PhD in philosophy (Doctor Europaeus) in 2018 from Roma Tre University, with a dissertation entitled Wesen, Eidos and Normativity in Husserl's Phenomenology. During my PhD studies, I was a visiting researcher at the Husserl Archives at KU Leuven and an Ernst-Mach research fellow at the University of Graz. I first studied philosophy at the University of Rome La Sapienza (BA, MA) and at KU Leuven (MPhil). 
 
Some other things about me: I am Italian and Canadian, born and raised in Rome. I love dogs, literature, music, hiking, and traveling. I spend my life with an epistemologist and a funny, sweet, and very active toddler.

I am Book Review Editor of ​The New Yearbook for Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy. 

​​Together with Phyla Kupferschmidt and Camila Ramírez Clavería, I co-founded the HIW Women’s Society for Early Career Researchers (WSECaR) at KU Leuven.
