I am an assistant professor of logic at the University of Padua.
My research interests span topics in logic, philosophy of language, and natural language semantics and pragmatics.
I am interested in the way we think, infer, and communicate in the presence of uncertainty, in particular with regards to the role of questions, disjunctions, conditionals and modals in thought and communication.
Another key topic of my research is the way in which logic can be extended to questions, and how doing so yields a more general perspective on logic. This is the topic of my recent monograph Inquisitive Logic.  
I have contributed to developing Inquisitive Semantics, a logical framework which allows for a unified analysis of statements and questions. I am a co-author of the inquisitive semantics textbook.
Before moving to Padova, I have led an Emmy Noether research group at LMU Munich, within the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy. Before that, I was an assistant professor at LMU Munich, where I taught in the Master in Logic and Philosophy of Science. In 2019 I was grateful to receive a Prize for good teaching based on the votes of students. I have received my PhD from the University of Amsterdam in 2016.
I am an associate editor at the Journal of Philosophical Logic.
