I was born in Sarzana (Italy) a long, long time ago. Sarzana and Bolano are the places where I grew up. I studied philosophy at the University of Pisa (Laurea vecchio ordinamento, equivalent to BA+MA, my thesis was on modal realism and modal logic) and Scuola Normale Superiore (PhD, obtained in 2009 with a thesis on counterfactuals and the epistemology of modality). While a PhD student, I spent some time first at the University of Sheffield (UK) and then, for almost two years, at the University of Leeds (UK). After my graduation, I worked for two years at Lingnan University in Hong Kong as part-time lecturer  (2009–2011) and then at the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (South Korea) for one year (2011–12). I moved back to Hong Kong (Lingnan University) in 2012 and that's where I am now (2021). I was promoted to Associate Professor (with tenure) in July 2017. I took up the positions of Head of Department (Philosophy) and Associate Dean (Research and Postgraduate Studies, Faculty of Arts, Lingnan) in Aug 2020. In addition to these two roles, I am also currently supervising the two language centres at Lingnan (CEAL and CLEAC) and, from January 2022, I will be the director of the Hong Kong Catastrophic Risk Centre, a research centre at Lingnan.
