Further Information
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Logic, Cognition, Language and Information (ILCLI), under a contract with the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) funded by the Basque Government. I obtained my PhD in Philosophy from the UPV/EHU in 2021, under the supervision of Dr. Thomas Mormann. Currently, I am a visiting postdoc at the MCMP.
Research Interests
I work mainly on formal models of kinds, properties and similarity, at the intersection between formal epistemology and formal metaphysics. I am especially interested in Carnap's quasi-analysis, formal approaches to natural kind essentialism and applications of the framework of conceptual spaces to the topic of natural kinds. I have also worked on equivalence between metaphysical theories.
