I am a postdoctoral researcher at Ruhr-Universität Bochum in the DFG-funded research unit FOR 2812 "Constructing Scenarios of the Past", where I work on the role of non-perceptual factors in remembering (Project 3). I am also an affiliated member of the Centre for Philosophy of Memory.
My research interests focus on the philosophy of mind in general and the philosophy of memory in particular. My work addresses questions about the nature of memory and genuine remembering, with specific attention to the ways in which environmental resources shape mnemic processes.
I completed my PhD as a doctorant contractuel at the Université Grenoble Alpes and Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Before that, I obtained an MA in philosophy of mind at the Université Grenoble Alpes, and earlier a BA in philosophy at the Universidad de Antioquia (Colombia).
