Currently, I am Senior Assistant Professor of Philosophy of Science (with tenure track) at the University of Messina, Department of Ancient and Modern Civilizations (DICAM) and I am the Director of the Experimental Philosophy Lab. I received a Ph.D. in Philosophy of Language and of Mind from the University of Palermo. I have done postdoctoral research at the University of Parma (Dept. of Neuroscience and Dept. of Humanities), Johns Hopinks University (Dept. of Cognitive Science), the University of Amsterdam, Humboldt University (Berlin School of Mind and Brain), as well as at the University of Palermo (Dept. of Humanities). I have been teaching Philosophy of Language, Language and Cognition and Social Psychology at the University of Parma, at the University of Palermo and at Humboldt University and Philosophy of Science, Psychobiology of Language, Social Neurosciences, Applied Neurosciences, Psycometrics for the Cognitive Neuroscience, Foundations of General Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience of Language at the University of Messina. I am interested in the Philosophy of Cognitive Neuroscience and in the embodiment of language. In the last years I have published on language and embodied cognition (also with Vittorio Gallese) and I am currently working on the embodiment of metaphor (with Gerard Steen and Martina Ardizzi), on the embodiment of abstract concepts and negation (with Vittorio Gallese) and on epistemic injustice (with Francesca Ervas and Francesca Ferri).
