Bio/CV: 

I lead the Artificial Humanities group where we focus on the intersection of humanities and AI across three research areas: cultural imaginary and social bias, narratology and writing creativity, and philosophy of science and technology. My first book, titled Artificial Humanities: A Fictional Perspective on Language in AI (2025), presents my research program on how the study of the humanities can contribute to the development of AI systems, particularly in relation to language. Since 2020, I have collaborated with Eoin Brodie's group at LBNL on the philosophical implications of their scientific practice, with a focus on thermodynamics and information processing.
