I'm a full researcher (investigador integrado) at the Centre for Ethics, Politics, and Society (CEPS) of the University of Minho, where I run a project funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) on the conceptual and normative dimensions of food waste. Additionally, I am a coordinator at Culinary Mind, an international center for the philosophy of food, and an associate editor of the journal Ethics, Politics, & Society. 

Before joining the CEPS, I was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Milan and an adjunct professor in the joint program ‘Philosophy, Politics, and Public Affairs (PPPA)’ of the University of Milan (Italy) and Vita-Salute San Raffaele University (Italy). I received my Ph.D. in environmental sciences and philosophy of science from the University of Sassari (Italy). Along the way, I spent a visiting period at Columbia University (USA). I graduated from the University of Pavia (Italy) and was an Erasmus student at Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg (Germany).

I'm a philosopher exploring the interplay between food, cultures, and the environment. I delve into the conceptual, ontological, and normative dimensions surrounding food production, consumption, and waste, along with their profound impact on the world and societies at large.

I love traveling and living in big cities, but I spend a lot of time in Sardinia (I’m an islander; I cannot stay too long away from the sea!).
