I’m a lecturer at the University of Valencia. I was previously a postdoctoral researcher at the Instituto de Investigaciones Filosóficas (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico), the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) and the Universitat de Barcelona. In 2013 I completed my PhD on naturalistic theories of intentionality at the Universitat de Girona and as a member of the LOGOS Research Group. My supervisor was David Pineda (UdG) and the examining committee was composed by Ruth Millikan (University of Connecticut), Karen Neander (Duke University) and Agustin Vicente (UPV/EHU). During my PhD I was also a reasearch visitor at the University of Connecticut, the Australian National University and the King’s College London.

My main research project concerns the naturalization of intentionality, but I’m also interested in other issues such as the notion of function, deception and the evolution of morality. My areas of specialization are philosophy of mind, pilosophy of biology and philosophy of cognitive science.

I am interested in the philosophy of medicine, psychiatry, and altered states of consciousness, as well as various issues of ontology and social epistemology. I am a member of the research projects "The Social Roots of Mental Health: Agency and Normativity", "The Epistemology of Responsibility in Agency-Stultifying Situations" and "Metaphysics of Biology: Processes and Dispositions".

In 2023 I made a stay as a Margarita Salas Fellow in the Unit of Excellence FiloLab-UGR (University of Granada). There I worked on the philosophy of psychiatry, especially on the so-called self-illness ambiguity, on objectivity and epistemic injustice in psychiatry, and on some epistemic aspects of psychedelic therapy.

Previously, I worked as a researcher in the Department of Logic and Theoretical Philosophy at the Complutense University of Madrid (2021-2022), where I did research on the philosophy of birth — in particular, on the experience of giving birth and on some metaphysical and epistemological aspects of birth care.

I also held a predoctoral researcher position in the Philosophy Departament at the University of Valencia (2016-2019), where I obtained my PhD in Philosophy, with a dissertation entitled Conceptions of Mental Illness: in Search of Reality.
