After a High School degree in Classics (It. Liceo Classico), I earned a Bachelor degree in Physics at the University of Roma Tre, discussing the role of the electromagnetic potentials in quantum theory from the physics and philosophical standpoint; and then a Master degree at the ETH Zurich with a Master-arbeit on the integer and fractional quantum Hall effect in two-dimensional electron gas. During my PhD at the Delft Technical University (NL), I used nano-structures to investigate aspects of quantum magnetism, electron transport, superconductivity, and thermodynamics of information. I was then awarded a Rubicon Postdoctoral Fellowship to pursue, at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, a research on the role of analogical thinking in the cross-disciplinary (condensed-matter and particle physics) and cross-cultural (Europe and Japan) transfer of knowledge. My current research project, which I pursue at the University of Verona (IT) thanks to a Marie Curie Seal of Excellence, concerns the physical foundations of intelligence in living organisms versus machines, and how their respective physical make-up determines fundamental aspects of their intelligence. The broader aim is to build a new philosophical anthropology (in fact, more generally, a bios-logy) using machines as a “mirror”. In the meantime, I also work as an external collaborator for the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology in Jena (DE), where I am involved in organising annual workshops on the history and philosophy of cognitive psychology and computational neuroscience.
