In philosophy of cognitive science, I am interested in the drivers of action, with a focus on intentions (their role in action production as well as in social cognition), on beliefs that are very central to one’s self-conception (and in transformative experiences as a way of acquiring or losing them), and on subtle factors shaping our actions such as sense of commitment or habit. I have written and co-authored work in topics including the relationship between intentions and motor representations in action production, the ascription of intentions in social cognition, and the role of sense of commitment in social media interactions. In aesthetics, I work mainly on issues concerning design. I have written about the aesthetic appreciation of perfumes, and I have defended the idea that some perfumes are works of art.
