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.

Francesca Biagioli
I am an associate professor of history of philosophy at the University of Turin. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vienna, at the Zukunftskolleg - University of Konstanz, and a visiting fellow in the Pittsburgh Center for Philosophy of Science. My research focuses on interactions between philosophy and the sciences in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including Hermann von Helmholtz’s epistemological writings and the debate about empirical vs. a priori origins of geometrical axioms, the epistemological background of modern axiomatics in the works of Richard Dedekind, Felix Klein, Henri Poincaré, Federigo Enriques, the philosophical implications of scientific advancements in post-Kantian philosophy, in particular the neo-Kantian movement and phenomenology. I have published the monograph Space, Number, and Geometry from Helmholtz to Cassirer (Springer) and articles in journals including HOPOS, Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, Journal for General Philosophy of Science, Philosophia Mathematica.

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.
Fabrizio Calzavarini
Fabrizio Calzavarini is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Turin, Italy, and a Research Fellow of the Center for Logic, Language, and Cognition (Turin, Italy). His research is organized into two interrelated streams. One stream falls at the intersection between the philosophy and neuroscience of semantics, focusing on the neural substrates of lexical competence and mental imagery. The other stream addresses philosophical issues in neuroscience more generally (neurophilosophy and philosophy of neuroscience). He has been visiting scholar at the Neuroscience and Aphasia Research Unit (Manchester, 2015-2016) and the Brain Language Laboratory (Berlin, 2015). He is the Information Officer of the European Society of Philosophy and Psychology (ESPP) and the co-organizer of Neural Mechanisms Online, a series of web-conferences in the philosophy of neuroscience. He is the author of Brain and the Lexicon (Springer 2020) and several papers in international and national journals, as well as the co-editor of Neural Mechanisms. New Challenges in the Philosophy of Neuroscience (Springer 2021)
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.
Marco Giovanelli
Marco Giovanelli is an Associate Professor of History of Philosophy at the University of Turin. His research focuses on the interaction between the history of philosophy and the history of space-time physics in the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly Einstein’s philosophy of science, neo-Kantianism, and early logical empiricism. He serves as Contributing Editor for The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein. Among his recent publications “Geometrization vs. Unification. The Reichenbach–Einstein Quarrel about the Fernparallelismus Field Theory, Reality and Appearence; Einstein and the Early Debate on Reality of Length Contraction, The Practice of Principles: Planck’s Vision of a Relativistic General Dynamics.
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.

Eugenio Petrovich
Eugenio Petrovich is an Assistant Professor in philosophy of science at the University of Turin. Previously, he has worked at the Universities of Milan, Siena, and Tilburg. His main research interests include quantitative studies of science, quantitative methods for the history of philosophy, and science policy and research evaluation. His studies have been published in journals such as Scientometrics, PLOS ONE, Synthese, and Logique et Analyse, among others.
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.
