She obtained her BA in Philosophy, Computer Science, and Economic Sciences from the University of Bern in 2020, and successfully completed the MA program in Logic and Philosophy of Science at the MCMP in 2022.

Research interests
Generally, Marina Moreno's core interests are in formal practical philosophy, including decision theory, rationality theory, game theory and social choice theory. Her doctoral project investigates the concept of well-being and its relationship to rational reasons for action. In particular, she is investigating how an individual can be understood as an intrapersonal collective, both synchronically, as a collective of conflicting internal wishes, and diachronically, as a collective of different person-stages over time. To this end, she uses various tools from traditionally interpersonal fields such as social choice theory or population ethics, in order to understand the intrapersonal domain.
Marina Moreno is also interested in the philosophy of suffering, metaethics (especially subjectivism and pluralism), political philosophy and social epistemology.
