I was born in Sarzana (SP, Italy) a long, long time ago. I grew up in Bolano (SP) and Sarzana (SP), studied philosophy at the University of Pisa (Laurea vecchio ordinamento, equivalent to BA+MPhil, 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 almost two years at the University of Leeds (UK). After my graduation, I worked for two years as part-time lecturer at Lingnan University (2009–2011) and then as full time lecturer at the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (South Korea) for one year (2011–12). I moved back to Hong Kong to take up an Assistant Professor position at Lingnan in 2012 and was promoted to Associate Professor (with tenure) in August 2017 and to Full Professor in August 2025. I took up the positions of Head of Department (Philosophy) and Associate Dean (Research and Postgraduate Studies, Faculty of Arts) in August 2020. In addition to these roles, I am the Director of the Hong Kong Catastrophic Risk Centre, a research centre at Lingnan (from January 2022), and the Programme Director of the MA Programme 'AI and the Future' (launched in September 2024).
