I am a Junior Professor at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, and I hold a Ph.D. in Logic and Philosophy of Science from Tilburg University. In the past, I held positions in The Netherlands (Utrecht University and Groningen University), Germany (LMU Munich, Humboldt Fellow), Finland, and Italy–both as Assistant Professor and Postdoctoral Fellow. I have recently obtained the Habilitation to Associate Professor from the Italian Ministry of Higher Education and I am pursuing my habilitation project at the LMU Munich.
I am an elected Board Member of the International Network for Economic Method, a Board Member of the Phil-Sci Archive, and a Member of the PSA/EPSA/BSPS Open Access Committee. I am serving as Associate Editor for the Journal of Economic Methodology. I am an External Member of the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy at LMU Munich and and an Associate Member of the Centre for the Philosophy of Social Science at University of Helsinki.
My primary research interests are in general philosophy of science (models, explanations, interdisciplinary science), social philosophy (norms, game theory), and philosophy of economics (methodology of behavioral/experimental/development economics).
For an overview of my research, here is an interview that I had with 3:AM Magazine.
