Pierluigi Graziani

Pierluigi Graziani is an Associate Professor of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of Urbino Carlo Bo, affiliated with the Department of Pure and Applied Sciences (DiSPeA). His academic career spans over two decades, during which he has held postdoctoral positions at the University of Urbino and the University of Chieti-Pescara, and has been actively involved in teaching, research, and academic service.

Education:

• Master Degree in Philosophy, University of Urbino (Italy), 2001
• Ph.D. in Logic and Epistemology, University of Rome “La Sapienza”, 2007

Research Interests:

Graziani's research is deeply rooted in the intersections of logic, philosophy of science, and computer science. He has made significant contributions to the foundations of geometry, exploring the logical and philosophical underpinnings of geometric systems. His work in logic and computer science includes formal methods, modal logics, and their applications in software engineering and artificial intelligence. Additionally, he delves into the history and philosophy of logic and mathematics, examining the evolution of logical and mathematical thought from historical and epistemological perspectives. His interests also extend to social robotics, where he investigates the ethical and logical aspects of human-robot interactions.

Scientific Contributions and Trends:

Graziani's publications reflect a consistent engagement with formal logic and its applications. Recent works include studies on probabilistic modal logics, ignorance and belief reasoning, and geometric problem taxonomies. His research often bridges theoretical developments with practical applications, such as software engineering and formal verification. The trend in his articles indicates a focus on epistemic logics, formal methods in computer science, and historical-philosophical analyses of scientific concepts.

Scientific Awards and Honors:

While specific awards are not listed, Graziani has received National Scientific Qualifications for Associate Professorship in Italy, attesting to his recognized expertise and contributions to his field.

Advising and Research Supervision:

Graziani has supervised a substantial number of bachelor's and master's theses, guiding students in topics ranging from intuitionistic logic and Church-Turing thesis to artificial intelligence ethics and virtual reality philosophy. His mentorship reflects his broad expertise and commitment to nurturing the next generation of scholars.

Labs, Teams, and Future Works:

He serves as the Scientific Coordinator for several departmental research projects, including studies on formal models in social phenomena, epistemological analyses of ignorance, and history of science. His ongoing projects suggest a continued focus on interdisciplinary approaches combining logic, philosophy, and computer science to address contemporary scientific and societal challenges.
