I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy of Science at the University of Milan, where I explore how scientific knowledge is produced, shared, and transformed. My work sits at the crossroads of history and philosophy: I like to understand science not only through its theories, but also through the practices and collaborations that make it possible. Over the years, this curiosity has led me from the archives of 18th-century polymath Ruggiero Boscovich to the laboratories and global networks behind contemporary astrophysics. I’m especially interested in how scientific cooperation works and in the role that “epistemic constraints” play in shaping it—why, in some cases, scientists simply need each other to make progress. I also have a long-standing fascination with Ernst Mach and historical epistemology. Whether teaching, researching, or organizing seminars, I enjoy working with others to rethink how science advances and how we talk about it.
Main research areas: historical epistemology; history and philosophy of physics; epistemology of scientific collaborations; science, technology & knowledge-production practices.
