Hi! I’m currently a Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Faculty Fellow at Princeton University, and an Assistant Professor at the Department of Philosophy, Adolfo Ibáñez University. I got my PhD from University College London in 2018, and my MSc in Political Theory from the London School of Economics. I did my Bachelor in Philosophy at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. I have been a Visiting Researcher at University College London, supported by the Santander Scholarship. I’m interested in rights theory, meta-ethics, analytic moral and political philosophy, and legal theory. I got the Chilean research grant called “Fondecyt iniciación” (2023-2026) to do research on rights and practical reasoning. If you’re researching similar topics, I’d be delighted if you contacted me. I’m a member of the UK-Latin America (Analytical) Political Philosophy Network. I try to make music on my days off.
