I am an Assistant Professor (RTDa) at the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the University of Catania, Italy, and a former postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Political Science at the University of São Paulo, Brazil (2018-2020).

I earned my Ph.D. in Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy of the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil (2018). I was visiting research at the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina) and the Chaire Hoover d’éthique économique et sociale, Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium). My research interests include theories of justice, economic inequality, theories of power and domination, and human rights. I am mainly concerned with the relation between economic inequality and political power in liberal democracies and how this can and should affect our view on social and distributive justice. My first book is How Rich Should the 1% Be? Proportional Justice and Economic Inequality, Routledge, 2022.
