PhD in Philosophy and Licentiate in Philosophy by the University of Buenos Aires. Postdoctoral Fellow at CONICET.

I am a member of the Buenos Aires Logic Group (BA LOGIC), and as such my research is focused on philosophical logic and, within this broad thematic spectrum, mostly with non-classical systems. I study this type of logics with the intention of understanding how they can be used to analyze the inferential import of notions such as hyperintensional and partial content. In this sense, I also seek to understand the way in which substructural logics allow us to highlight certain subtleties that often go unnoticed when we define what is a logical system, or what is a logical system of a particular type (for example, what is a paraconsistent logic ). In my PhD thesis, I systematically analyze the extent to which the notion of logical consequence can be modified by relevance considerations, especially with regard to preserving the subject-matter of the premises being considered. To this end, I investigate various formalizations of the notion of hyperintensional content, which leads me to try to offer non-classical formalisms in which the logical consequence can be understood in terms of the notion of content inclusion. As a result of these investigations, I provide various novel semantics and calculi for these familiar systems (such as Parry's Logic of Analytical Implication, and Epstein's Relatedness Logic), and for systems that have not been presented in the literature until now. I have published on these and other topics in Synthese, Journal of Philosophical Logic, Review of Symbolic Logic, Logic Journal of the IGPL, Journal of Logic and Computation, Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics and Logic and Logical Philosophy, among other specialized journals of great prestige.
