I hold a PhD in philosophy of science by the University of Barcelona (02/2020). Before, I got a MA in Analytic Philosophy and another Ma in Education (philosophy teacher) at the same university. I did a BA in Philosophy at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
In my dissertation (funded by an FPI scolarship), supervised by professor José A. Díez, I argue for a weak explanatory pluralism in biology, challenging the mechanistic approach in the light of mathematical and covering law models of explanation.
I have taught Philosophy of Science and Logic at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Prof. asociado), and English language and philosophy at secondary school.
I started working at the UAB (22-24) with professor Thomas Sturm under a Margarita Salas post doctoral position. My research was focused on the philosophy of science of Philip Kitcher, his naturalism and his defense of epistemic values as essential to characterise science and its advancement. Moreover, we were awarded a I+D ministry project (Spain) to investigate the importance of teaching logic and argumentation theory (Critical reasoning) in secondary schools, as a way of training adolescents to deal with the challenges of propaganda, persuasion and populism.
I currently host a lecturer position at UAB.
