I'm a metaphysician and philosopher of science working at the University of Geneva as a scientific collaborator. I work mainly on the nature of space, time and other general ontological categories. After a Ph.D. in philosophy of time at the University of Rennes 1 (France) co-supervised at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) in 2015, I was a postdoctoral researcher in a joint project between the University of lllinois at Chicago and the University of Geneva (2016-2018) entitled 'Space and Time After Quantum Gravity'.

In 2018-2019, I'm part of a project of the Swiss National Science Foundation entitled "To and Fro: Scientific Metaphysics at the Physics' Frontiers". After that, I will start an Ambizione fellowship that I have been awarded by the Swiss National Science Foundation to work on the metaphysics of quantum gravity (2019-2023).
My main researches are on the ontology of the actual world, with a focus on the physics of quantum gravity. I also occasionnaly branch out in philosophy of mind and comparative philosophy.
