Ho conseguito il dottorato di ricerca in Filosofia teoretica nel 2013 presso l'Università Sapienza di Roma con una tesi sul problema del pre-categoriale nel primo Husserl (Logica delle forme sensibili. Sul precategoriale nel primo Husserl, Roma 2014) e ho poi svolto attività di ricerca post-doc presso diverse istituzioni italiane (IISF di Napoli, 2012-2013; IISF di Napoli, 2017) e straniere. In particolare, dal 2014 al 2021 ho lavorato in Germania dapprima presso la Freie Universität di Berlino sotto la supervisione della Prof. Dr. Sybille Krämer e del Prof. Dr. Christoph Wulf, con un progetto di ricerca sulla questione della comunicazione nella fenomenologia di Husserl; in seguito, presso la Technische Universität Dresden, dove ho collaborato con la cattedra di 'Technikphilsophie' (Prof. Dr. Dr. Bernhard Irrgang) su temi di filosofia del digitale; infine, sono stata post-doc fellow presso l'Institute for Cultural Inquiry Berlin con un progetto a cavallo tra fenomenologia e teoria critica del digitale (applicata alla musica). Nel 2017 ho conseguito l'abilitazione scientifica nazionale alle funzioni di docente di seconda fascia in Filosofia teoretica e, nel 2024, ho conseguito l'abiltazione alle funzioni di docente di prima fascia nel medesimo settore.

Legenda
I received my PhD in Theoretical Philosophy in 2013 from Sapienza University of Rome with a dissertation on the pre-categorial thinking in Husserl's early philosophy (Logica delle forme sensibili. Sul precategoriale nel primo Husserl, Roma 2014). I have been a post-doc researcher in Italy at the IISS of Naples (2012-2013) and the IISF of Naples (2017). From 2014 until 2021 I have been active as a post-doc researcher in Germany: I worked at the Freie Universität Berlin under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sybille Krämer and Prof. Dr. Christoph Wulf, developing a project focused on the problem of communication in Husserl's phenomenology. Afterwards, I was a post-doc fellow at the Technische Universität Dresden, where I collaborated with the Chair of Philosophy of Technology (Prof. Dr. Dr. Bernhard Irrgang) on topics related to the philosophy of the digital; finally, I have been a post-doc fellow at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry Berlin, where I developed a project at the crossoroads between phenomenology and the critical theory of the digital (applied to contemporary electronic music). In 2017 I received the national scientific habilitation as an associate professor in Theoretical Philosophy and in 2024 I received the habilation as a full professor in Theoretical Philosophy.
