Hey there! I obtained an FI grant in June 2024, to do my Ph.D. under the supervision of Marta Jorba at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. I devote my predoctoral studies to the philosophy of psychiatry and internalized stigma. Briefly put, I aim to examine what internalized stigma is and how it is experienced. The project encompasses both philosophical and empirical assessments. The latter focuses on how internalized stigma is experienced in autism.
Before starting my Ph.D., I earned my degree in psychology in 2019 (Blanquerna, Ramon Llull) and graduated from the Cognitive Science and Language MA (UB) in 2021. Following that, I worked as a clinical researcher at Vall d’Hebron Institut de Recerca, in the psychiatry department.
My other areas of interest include inner speech, philosophy of medicine and neuroscience, or phenomenological psychiatry. Beyond analytic philosophy, I have a strong admiration for Albert Camus’ writings, and I enjoy instrumental rock music.
