I am a member of the RobotiCSS Lab at Milan Bicocca University, working on the RiLS (Robots in the Life Sciences) Project and a member of the Centre for Philosophical Psychology at the university of Antwerp.

Previously, I've been a postdoc at the University of Antwerp (FWO grant 1202824N), a Visting felow at the Wollongong University, the University of Antwerp, and the Ruhr University Bochum.

​

Roughy, I am interested in how do minds work, and I try to investigate it in an empirically informed manner. In particular, I focus on:

Mental/cognitive/neural representations
4E cognition, especially extended cognition

Predictive processing/the free energy principle

Cognitive ontology

​

I am a member of Neural Mechanisms Online, The International society for the Philsophy of the Sciences of the Mind (of which I was the 2026 president) and an associated editor for Philosophy & the Mind Sciences (A Diamond OA Philosophy Journal)
