Welcome! My name is Federica, and I am a philosopher of science. I think and write about biodiversity, conservation, and environmental justice, with a particular interest in how we measure the natural world and how those measurements shape scientific knowledge, conservation practice, and environmental policy.

​

I have just joined the University of Calgary (Canada) as an Assistant Professor. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the History and Philosophy of Science Unit at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark). Previously, I earned a Ph.D. in philosophy from Boston University (USA) and a master's degree from the Università di Parma (Italy).

​

Beyond my academic life, I am passionate about fossil hunting, dancing salsa, and furniture restoration.

​

I treasure the opportunity to engage with people from all academic disciplines and beyond academia who are interested in philosophy of science, ethics, and biodiversity conservation. So, if you would like to get in touch, please contact me at:
