I am Fulford Clarendon Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Science at Oxford University and Fulford fellow at St. Catherine's College.
Before joining Oxford, I was a Professor of Philosophy at the Sage School of Philosophy at Cornell University. Before joining the Sage School, I was an Andrew Mellon Assistant Professor (2018-2019) and an Assistant Professor (2014-2018) at Duke University. In 2013-2014, I was a Bersoff Assistant Professor/Faculty Fellow of Philosophy at NYU. Before that, I was a graduate student at Rutgers University. For several years (2019-2025), I have been an editor of the Philosophical Review and an associate editor for Analysis Reviews. I am currently an area associate editor for Ergo.
I have broad interests. My areas of specialization are philosophy of mind and of cognitive science, philosophy of language, epistemology, and action theory. Other than philosophy, I do linguistics, mostly formal semantics and syntax.
Originally, I am from Italy and grew up in a village on the hills of Monferrato (Calamandrana, pictured below) where good wine abounds. I am a first generation high school and college student.
