I am a Ph.D. student at the Centre for Philosophy of Memory of the Université Grenoble Alpes (France) and at the Institute of Philosophy II of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germany). I work under the co-supervision of Kourken Michaelian and Markus Werning.

My research interests focus on the philosophy of mind in general and the philosophy of memory in particular. In my doctoral dissertation, I address questions about the nature of memory and remembering, such as the relationship between the constructive character of memory and the notion of appropriate causation, the possibility of extended remembering, the (in)compatibility between remembering and relearning, and the status of childhood memories and vicarious memories. 

My Ph.D. is funded by a doctoral contract from the French Philosophy Doctoral School 487 "Histoire, Représentation, Création".

Previously, I completed an M.A. in philosophy of mind at the Université Grenoble Alpes and a B.A. in philosophy at the Universidad de Antioquia (Colombia).
