I hold a PhD in philosophy of science by the University of Barcelona (02/2020). Before, I got a MA in Analytic Philosophy and another Ma in Education (philosophy teacher) at the same university. I did a BA in Philosophy at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
In my dissertation ( funded by an FPI grant), supervised by professor José A. Díez, I argue for a weak explanatory pluralism in biology, challenging the mechanistic approach at the light of mathematical and covering law models of explanation.
I have taught Philosofy of Science and Logic at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Prof. associado), and English language and philosophy at secondary school.
Currently I am working at the UAB with professor Thomas Sturm under a Margarita Salas post doctoral position. My project has two main parts: First, it focus on the philosophy of science of Philip Kitcher, his naturalism and his defense of epistemic values as essential to characterise science and its advancement. Second, it considers the importance of teaching HPS, logics and argumentation theory (Critical reasoning) in secondary schools, as a way of training adolescents to deal with the challenges of propaganda, persuasion and populaism (among others) that they will have to face as democratic citizens.
