My primary research interest is Philosophy of Information, especially issues
concerning the ethics of Information. I am also interested in Epistemology, Philosophy
of Evolution, Cognitive Robotics, Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence and Multi-Agents
Systems.
I graduated in philosophy at the University of Bari with a MA thesis on the Symbol
Grounding Problem. I am a European PhD student at the Faculty of Philosophy of the
University of Padua and at the IEG, University of Oxford, my supervisors are Dr
Massimiliano Carrara and Prof Luciano Floridi. My researches for the PhD thesis
are concerned with the epistemic and ethical implications of the occurrences of
E-trust in distributed systems.
