I studied philosophy at the University of Milan (Italy), where I earned my PhD in 2017. From 2018 to 2023, I worked as an Assistant Professor at the School of Advanced Studies of Tyumen, a liberal arts college in Western Siberia (Russia).

Over the years, I have taught courses on Metaphysics, Philosophy of Time, Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics, Bayesianism, Academic Writing, Critical Thinking, and more.
