I obtained an MSc Economics from University College London (UK) in 2019 and a Research MA Philosophy from KU Leuven (Belgium) in 2024. In between, I worked in projects of development economics with a focus on social and environmental issues.
My academic interests primarily fall under the theme of causation and regularities as explored by both contemporary and (early) modern philosophers. For example, I am interested in a number of contemporary discussions in philosophy of economics concerning mechanisms and causal explanations as well as counterfactual causation. Regarding the history of philosophy, I am drawn to the ways in which 18th-century thinkers discussed causation in response to the emergence of new scientific disciplines. I am especially intrigued by how Hume’s account of causation informs the task he envisions for philosophy in the wake of the Newtonian revolution as well as what – according to Kant – leads us from the experience of organisms to a conception of nature as a systematic and purposive whole.
