Academic Political Philosopher
I am an Assistant Professor at the Università del Piemonte Orientale , where I specialize in the intersections of political realism, democracy, and Artificial Intelligence. My research is defined by a rigorous interdisciplinary approach that bridges normative theory with empirical political science. This commitment has led to numerous publications in premier journals, including the Journal of Politics, Political Studies, and the European Journal of Philosophy. My international career includes appointments at the University of Chicago Law School and the American University of Paris. I have also been invited to deliver talks at prestigious institutions such as UC Berkeley and Sciences Po. The impact of my work has been further recognized by the 2022 CRISPP Best Article Prize, the Baroncelli Prize and a €300,000 individual research grant.
Writer and Narrative Designer
Beyond my academic research, I am the lead writer and narrative designer for the critically acclaimed and award-nominated board games "The King’s Dilemma" and its successor, "The Queen’s Dilemma". My work in this space translates complex political ethics into immersive, choice-driven narratives. These titles have been translated into eight languages, with over 75,000 copies sold. My most recent project, The Queen’s Dilemma, successfully raised over €700,000 on Kickstarter, reflecting a significant global audience for philosophically grounded narrative games. Additionally, my creative portfolio includes a philosophical theatre piece on freedom, commissioned by the leading Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera and performed at the Teatro Franco Parenti in Milan.
