Postdocs and PhD Students @LLC
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.
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.
Angelica Mezzadri
I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Turin, sponsored by the FINO Consortium and supervised by Professor Vincenzo Crupi. My research focuses on metaphilosophy and epistemology, with a particular interest in thought experiments and paradoxes. My dissertation explores how these philosophical tools function within philosophical inquiry. I have recently visited Ruhr University Bochum and the University of Hong Kong.

Agostino Pinna Pintor
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Philosophy and Educational Sciences, University of Turin. My primary research interests are in philosophy of mind, philosophy of language and philosophy of psychology. I mainly work on sensorimotor theories of cognition and meaning. I received my PhD from FINO Consortium (University of Turin) and Institut Jean Nicod (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris). My research focuses on the notion of mental representation within the Embodied Cognition paradigm. More broadly, I am interested in understanding the extent to which our cogitations are intertwined with perception and action systems.
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.

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).

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.
