After a Master in Philosophy of Science, I specialized in the history of geometry and philosophy of mathematics. Since October 2025 I am a PhD candidate in the SNSF-Starting Grant project MediMath. My research currently focuses on the algebraic and geometric practices of the Middle-Ages.

I am also interested in global approaches to the study of intellectual history of science and philosophy, as well as in the dynamics of the circulation of knowledge and practices.

General:

  • History and philosophy of science
  • Arabic sciences and philosophy
  • Sciences in the Mediterranean Worlds

Specific:

  • History of geometry and algebra in the Middle-Ages
  • Analysis and synthesis in mathematical and philosophical sources 
  • 'Umar al-Khayyām's mathematics (12th century CE)
