Biography

I am a PhD student and teaching assistant at Durham University, UK, alongside its Centre for Culture and Ecology. My research concerns the relationship between technology and human existence, with a particular focus on the role played by technologies in both shaping the process of human evolution and structuring scientific knowledge about this process. Following insights developed by contemporary philosophers such as Bernard Stiegler and Peter Sloterdijk, my research is carried out starting from the assumption that our understanding of technology should be radically reconceived in order to face up against the ongoing climatic, economic and social crises. I am a member of the transdisciplinary scientific collective Internation and part of the editorial board of the journal Kaiak. A Philosophical Journey. My research has been published as journal articles and book chapters.
