I am currently Director of the Centre for Ethics, Politics, and Society at the University of Minho, where I am FCT Senior Researcher under the Institutional CEEC Program, and invited faculty member of the Philosophy Department, primarily teaching courses in Political Philosophy. I have PhD in Philosophy of Law from the University of Padua and a Laurea in Philosophy from Sapienza University of Rome. From 2022 to 2024, I was Principal Investigator of the FCT-funded project "The Public Interest: A Politico-Philosophical Investigation" (Grant n. EXPL/FER-ETC/1226/2021). My research interests focus on constitutional rights, the justification of dissent, and the epistemic aspects of rights and justice. I have contributed articles to various academic journals, including Social Epistemology, Philosophy and Social Criticism, Philosophia, and Philosophical Topics, as well as authored chapters in edited volumes for Routledge and Continuum. In collaboration with Manohar Kumar, I am autor of "Speaking Truth to Power - A Theory of Whistleblowing," published by Springer International in 2018, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the civic and political dimensions of whistleblowing. Currently, I am working on a book monograph on the public interest and an article focusing on the epistemic aspects of constitutional rights (forthcoming in Law and Philosophy). Since October 2020, I have served as the editor-in-chief of Ethics, Politics & Society, a peer-reviewed open-access journal edited by CEPS and published by UMinho Editora. I am also a member of the Editorial Board of APhEx/Portale italiano di filosofia analitica/ (ISSN 2036-9972) and the Advisory Board of Zero Degree, a newly established online Political Theory journal. In addition to my role at CEPS, my professional service at UMinho includes supervising PhD projects and serving on several boards and defense Committees. Before assuming my current position, I worked as a post-doctoral fellow and adjunct professor at Luiss University of Rome - Department of Political Science. During that time, I taught graduate and undergraduate courses (political philosophy, philosophy of social sciences, and bioethics), served as the Program Director of the Luiss Summer School in Political Philosophy (2006-2007) and coordinated the PhD Program in Political Theory (2006 -2010). During my PhD, I was an EAP Graduate Student at the University of California-Berkeley and a visiting student at Sorbonne University, Paris IV. I was Visiting Scholar at Columbia University in 2010-2012. In 2014-2015 I held a Resident Fellowship at Institute for Advanced Study of Aix-Marseille University and a Hoover Chair Honorary Fellowship at the Université Catholique de Louvain (2015). From 2015 to 2016, I was Research Fellow at the National Research Council of Italy - (IRPPS - CNR) as part of project on European citizenship rights co-funded by the European Commission's DG Justice. In 2016-2017, I promoted and participated in the Eu-funded project "A Change of Direction” on whistleblowing in the fight against corruption in Europe, before transitioning to my current position at the University of Minho. In September 2018, I obtained the Italian National Qualification as an Associate Professor in Political Philosophy.
