Biography

I'm a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UNIBO, Department of Legal Studies (2024-2025). My research focuses on models of normative risk for AI systems. This work is part of a larger project on "Responsible AI" funded by the Italian Research Center on HPC, Big Data, and Quantum Computing.

​​​​​

Before this appointment, I was awarded an IRC Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at UCC, Philosophy (2022-2024). My project, "Proxy Agency in Law", explored the legal and moral implications of acting as a proxy agent in institutional action contexts. And prior to this, I held a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the Institute for Philosophical Research, UNAM (2021-2022), to carry out my project on "The Foundations of Institutional Agency".

​​​​

In March 2021, I obtained a PhD in Law at the University of Glasgow. My PhD thesis, "The Institutional Nature of Law: An Ontological Analysis", was co-supervised by Prof George Pavlakos (Law School) and Prof Stephan Leuenberger (Philosophy Department).

​​​

During my PhD, I assisted the Jurisprudence Convenor at the University of Glasgow as a GTA and undertook a research stay at the TINT, University of Helsinki, under the supervision of both the late Prof Emeritus Raimo Tuomela and Prof Pekka Mäkelä.

​​​

Before starting my PhD, I was a lecturer in Legal Logic at the Faculty of Law, UNAM, and finished an MPhil in Philosophy at the Philosophy Faculty, UNAM, under the supervision of Dr Juan Antonio Cruz Parcero.

​​​​

During my MPhil, I undertook a research stay at the Philosophy of Law Department, University of Alicante. I was then supervised by Dr Manuel Atienza.

​​​​

I did my BA in Law also at UNAM.​​
