I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Utrecht University, where I work within the ESDiT (Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies) research programme. Before joining Utrecht, I was a Juan de la Cierva postdoc with the LOGOS group in Barcelona, and prior to that 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 develop a capacity-based account of ignorance and to explore 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).
