Matteo Baggio

Matteo Baggio is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Turin, where he is working on the project "Controlling and Utilizing Uncertainty in the Health Sciences." He holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience and Philosophy of Mind from the University School for Advanced Studies IUSS Pavia, where he received a thematic fellowship in Epistemology of Logic and Mathematics. Before his Ph.D., Matteo studied philosophy at the University of Genoa and held research positions at the University of Bergen and the Complutense University of Madrid. Matteo's work primarily focuses on epistemology (both classical and social) and the philosophy of logic. He also has a strong interest in metaphysics and the philosophy of science.

Martina Calderisi

I am a PhD student in Philosophy at the University of Turin (FINO Consortium). My areas of interest are philosophy of science, logic, and formal epistemology. My research focuses on human reasoning and decision-making, and their (alleged) deviations from rationality. In my thesis, I investigate cognitive biases such as the so-called base-rate fallacy, and different logics of conditionals.  

Vincenzo Crupi

Vincenzo Crupi is professor of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of Turin. After studying philosophy in Turin, he obtained a MA in Philosophy of Science at the London School of Economics, then a PhD in Philosophy again in Turin. He held research positions at several institutions, including the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences in Rovereto (Trento) and the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, before taking a permanent appointment in Turin in 2011. He directed the Center for Logic, Language, and Cognition (LLC) from its foundation (2014) up to 2021. He is currently President of the Scuola di Studi Superiori “Ferdinando Rossi” in Turin and Vicepresident of the European Philosophy of Science Association. Major research interests include classical issues in logic and philosophy of science as well as interdisciplinary research on human reasoning, rationality, and medical decision making.

Francesco Genco

I currently hold a tenure-track Assistant Professor position at the University of Turin. I graduated in Philosophy at the University of Bologna (Italy) and obtained my PhD degree in Theoretical Computer Science at TU Wien (Vienna, Austria) under the supervision of Agata Ciabattoni. After my doctoral studies, I held a three year postdoctoral position at IHPST, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and CNRS (Paris, France) in the context of the project Insights from Bolzano directed by Francesca Poggiolesi. Afterwards, I held a two-year postdoctoral position at the LUCI Lab (Logic, Uncertainty, Computation and Information Lab, Department of Philosophy, University of Milan) in the context of the BRIO project (Bias, Risk, Opacity in AI: Design, Verification and Development of TrustwMorthy AI).


My research mainly concerns the development of proof-theoretical methods and their application in philosophy and theoretical computer science. I worked, in particular, on the proof-theory of non-classical logics, on the development of computational interpretations for constructive and semi-constructive logics, and on explanatory reasoning in logic and in mathematics.



Andrea Iacona

Andrea Iacona is Professor of Logic at the University of Turin, Department of Philosophy and Education. His main research topics concern logic and its application to natural language. In particular, he worked on propositions, vagueness, validity, truth, future contingents, conditionals, and logical form. He is Director of the Center for Logic, Language, and Cognition, Associate Editor of Analysis, and editorial panel member of Thought.


Giorgio Lenta

PhD student, philosophically born and raised in Turin. My main research focus lies at the intersection of philosophy of language and metaphysics. In particular, I like to explore the formal semantics and logic of worldly hyperintensionality: non-representational contexts in which substitution salva veritate of intensional equivalents fails. Among them, I developed a particular interest for counterfactual and counterpossible conditionals, alongside hyperintensional accounts of propositions and their paradoxes. Aside from that, I also enjoy philosophy of science (especially philosophy of chemistry) and philosophy of mathematics. Click here for my PhilPeople profile.


Matteo Plebani 

Matteo Plebani is Associate Professor at the University of Turin. He obtained his PhD in 2011 from the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and did postdoctoral research at the Universities  of Padoa, Santiago de Compostela and Amsterdam, before moving to Turin. His research focuses on topics at the intersection of the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mathematics: theories of aboutness, counterpossibles in relative computability theory, truthmaker semantics, semantic paradoxes, and structuralism in the philosophy of mathematics.


Giuliano Rosella

Giuliano Rosella is a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Logic, Language, and Cognition (LLC) at the University of Turin, Italy. Prior to his current position, he earned his PhD in Philosophy from the same university as part of the FINO Consortium. He also holds a Master's degree in logic from the ILLC at the University of Amsterdam. His research interests lie in the fields of Logic and Philosophical Logic. He is currently exploring the potential application of algebraic logic techniques and uncertainty theories to the study of conditional and hypothetical reasoning.

Lorenzo Rossi

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Turin, Department of Philosophy and Education, and a member of the Center for Logic, Language, and Cognition (LLC). My work is mainly in Logic, Epistemology, Philosophy of Language, and Philosophy of Mathematics.  Before Turin, I did my DPhil at the University of Oxford, was a post-doc at the University of Salzburg, and was an assistant professor at the MCMP, LMU Munich. 

My papers have appeared in logic and philosophy journals such as the Review of Symbolic Logic, the Journal of Philosophical Logic, the Journal of Philosophy, Philosophical Studies, Philosophers' Imprint, and the Australasian Journal of Philosophy.  Among my main publications are the Handbook of Three-Valued Logic (edited, with Paul Égré, MIT Press), The Liar Paradox (edited, to appear with Cambridge University Press) and the monograph Truth and Paradox in Context (with Julien Murzi), to appear with Oxford University Press. For more information, see my website https://lorenzorossi.org/.

Simon Schmitt

I hold a BA in Philosophy from the University of Heidelberg (2019) and an MA in Logic and Philosophy of Science from the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (2021). Currently, I am pursuing a PhD as part of the FINO program, working at the LLC under the supervision of Andrea Iacona and Lorenzo Rossi. My thesis develops an intermediate position between generality relativism and generality absolutism, with particular emphasis on its application to set theory. In addition to my main project, I work on several other topics, including a paper on Feferman's unfolding program (with Martin Fischer and David Hofmann), an application of contextualism to set theory (with Lorenzo Rossi and Chris Scrambler), and a paper on the Universe-Multiverse debate in set theory (with Matteo de Ceglie). For more information, see my PhilPeople page.

Jan Sprenger

I work in philosophy of science, formal epistemology and logic applied to semantics and reasoning. After studying mathematics and obtaining my PhD from the University of Bonn (2008) for a thesis on the foundations of inductive inference, I worked for almost ten years at Tilburg University in the Netherlands, first as an Assistant Professor and then as a Full Professor and director of the research center TiLPS. Since late 2017, I am based in Turin. I regularly publish in leading international journals, but my main publication is the monograph Bayesian Philosophy of Science (Oxford University Press, 2019, with Stephan Hartmann), which sums up a lot of my research in the preceding years. From 2015 to 2021, I have been directing the ERC Project "Making Scientific Inference More Objective". For more information, visit my personal website and my PhilPeople site.

Martina Zirattu

 I am a PhD student in Philosophy at the University of Turin. My main interests are in logic and philosophical logic. My research primarily explores non-classical logics, many-valued logics, and substructural logics. In my thesis, I investigate logics of topic inclusion and the various refinements that can be applied to these frameworks.
