I joined LOGOS in January 2023 as a Juan de la Cierva Postdoctoral fellow working at UB. My primary interests are in the philosophy of language and social philosophy and their application to communication and society more generally. My current research is primarily on the topic of artificial conversational entities (such as chatbots) and considering their effects and consequences for theories of language. I am also looking at the notion of seriousness and its role in online discourse.
