I am currently enrolled in the Aphil Program and I am member of the project Semantic Content and Conversational Dynamics. I obtained my BA and MA at the National University of Colombia. I have been visiting student at the Instituto de Investigaciones Filosóficas, UNAM, Mexico City (August - December 2008), and at the LOGOS group (September - December 2009).

My primary research area is philosophy of language, with special emphasis on recent debates about the context-sensitivity of language. Currently, I am interested in the context-sensitivity of modifiers (adverbs and adjectives) and in the notion of formality, applied both to philosophical logic and philosophy of language. I have also a general interest in the philosophies of Quine, Davidson, Dummett, and Fodor.
