Curriculum
Brief CV
I am an Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track, Profesor Ayudante Doctor) at the Universitat de les Illes Balears. Previously, I held postdoctoral positions at Universität zu Köln (2022), KU Leuven (2022-2023) and the Universitat de les Illes Balears (2023-2024). My PhD thesis (2022) focused on Wittgenstein's moral philosophy, it was funded by a FPU pre-doctoral fellowship and included research stays at the University of East Anglia (2019) and Universität Leipzig (2020).
My research interests mainly concern meta-ethics, epistemology, philosophy of language and L. Wittgenstein (together with their intersection). At present, I focus on deep disagreements (how they should be defined and studied, what contributions they may offer to scientific/moral progress and how they relate to epistemic/linguistic injustice), hinge epistemology (meta-philosophical issues, its application to maths and ethics, and its connection to social epistemology) and meta-ethics (the meta-ethical implications of moral expressivism). I have published in journals such as The Philosophical Quarterly, Journal of the American Philosophical Association and Synthese.
Alongside Dr. José Antonio Pérez-Escobar and Dr. Deniz Sarikaya, I am a co-founder of the Young Network for Wittgensteinian Philosophy. For more information, see: https://sites.google.com/view/young-network-wp/home.
