I have achieved my PhD in Philosophy in 2014, at both the University of Cagliari (Italy) and the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena (Germany). Since 2017 I have been a Marie Sklodowska Curie fellow at the Institute for Cultural History of the FSU Jena. As postdoc in the History of Philosophy at the Proteus group since 2020, I am working on eighteenth and early-nineteenth cosmologies and on the problem of 'origin' in between Kant and Hegel.
