I am a philosopher of psychology, perception and mind from Brazil. I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Federal University of Minas Gerais/Brazil, as a beneficiary of the CAPES-PrInt program . My current research concerns the various ways in which emotions and other affective states influence how we perceive and react to the world. In particular, in my postdoc project I investigate the affective dimensions of implicit biases as they are manifested in perceptual experience.
I hold a PhD in philosophy and cognitive science from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales/Institut Jean Nicod in Paris, France. My thesis, written under the supervision of François Recanati, defended a pragmatic theory of singular demonstrative content. A slightly revised version was published in book format by De Gruyter (2016), and further developments were recently published in a joint paper (Carvalho & Newen 2019). I am also interested in perceptual processing and experience in other sense modalities, and I have published a paper on olfaction (2014).
Finally, I am a practitioner of buddhist mindfulness meditation and member and collaborator of the Nalanda Center for Buddhist Studies (Brazil), and I have also published in the domain of buddhist studies (2020).
