Education:

• PhD in Logic/Philosophy (University of Barcelona, 2011)
• Masters in Cognitive Science (University of Barcelona, 2007)
• Masters in Logic and Indology (LMU, 2006)

Research Interests: Focuses on philosophy of logic, non-classical logics (e.g., connexive, paraconsistent), philosophy of language, cognitive science, political philosophy, and Asian philosophies. Explores intersections between formal systems and legal discourse, privacy ethics, and behavioral ethics. Known for contributions to exactly true logic, verificationism, and logical pluralism.

Publications Trends: Recent work emphasizes formal semantics of non-classical logics, applications to legal reasoning, and ethical implications of behavioral interventions. Key themes include truth values in logical systems, counterfactuals, and privacy nudge ethics.

Awards: Recipient of the Beth Dissertation Prize (2012) for outstanding work in logic and language.

Grants & Labs: Led major DFG-funded projects. Active in MCMP, a hub for interdisciplinary research in logic, philosophy, and mathematical methods. Collaborates on behavioral ethics and digital privacy initiatives.
