Hi! I’m currently a Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Faculty Fellow at Princeton University, and an Associate 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 was awarded the Chilean research grant “Fondecyt de Iniciación” (2023–2026) to conduct research on rights and practical reasoning, and the research grant “Fondecyt Regular” (2026–2029) to conduct research on rights and reasons-reductivism. 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.
