I am a Juan de la Cierva Postdoctoral Researcher with the LOGOS group in Barcelona. I will soon be joining Utrecht University as a postdoc within the ESDiT (Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies) research programme. Prior to Barcelona, I was a postdoc at the COGITO Epistemology Research Centre, University of Glasgow.
My research spans several subfields of epistemology, including social epistemology and epistemology of technology. My interest in epistemic agency has led me to engage with both traditional epistemological questions and more applied domains, such as whether AIs have beliefs, whether that matters for their epistemological significance, and the new kinds of epistemic interactions they make possible. As a UC Irvine alumnus, I also have a standing interest in Wittgensteinian hinge epistemology.
I completed my PhD as a Fulbright scholar in the Department of Philosophy at the University of California, Irvine. I hold an MA in Philosophy from Universidad de los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia) and a BA in Philosophy from the Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia).
