Previously, she had been research fellow at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Genoa, at the Department of Information Technologies and Communication, CNR, Rome (2010), and Visiting Research Fellow at King’s College, London (2012-2013).

The results of those researches were presented at many national and international congresses, and published in several articles and chapters, both in Italian and English. Among her books, she has authored “La mente fuori dal corpo” (FrancoAngeli 2011) and “Il triangolo dell’interpretazione” (FrancoAngeli 2008), co-authored “Piccolo trattato di epistemologia” (Codice Edizioni 2010), edited “Natura umana, natura artificiale” (FrancoAngeli 2010), and co-edited “Reason and Rationality” (Ontos 2012), “Disaccordo” (Mimesis 2012), “Triangulation” (Ontos 2011), “Knowledge, Language, and Interpretation” (Ontos 2008), and “Conoscenza e verità” (Giuffré 2007).
