Specialization: Greek Patristics, Trinitarian Theology, Christology

After having earned a Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Rome Tor Vergata in 2013 and having held Postdoctoral positions at the University of Trento and at the Polytechnic University of Turin, I obtained a double Canonical Licence (Master's Degree) in Philosophy and Theology at the Catholic Institute of Paris in 2022.

My current research in Theology tries to carry on Pavel Florensky's antinomic approach on Christian dogmatics as a hermeneutical tool to study the history of Theology. My Canonical Licence dissertation applied this method to the study of Gregory Palamas' postulation of a distinction between divine essence and divine energies. Concurrently, I am focusing on the role played by contradiction (in its formal, mathematical, sense) in the constitution of Eastern philosophical thought, particularly in the philosophy of Kitaro Nishida, with an approach linked to recent developments in the field of Paraconsistent Logic.
