PhD. in Computer Science

Department of Mathematics

University of Rio Cuarto

CONICET

Argentina

I am a Full-time Professor (Adjunto) in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Río Cuarto, and a Researcher (Asistente) at CONICET.


I finished my Phd thesis in 2015 under the supervision of Tom Maibaum at McMaster University, Canada. The topic of my thesis is on Default Logic, a particular take on Nonmonotonic Reasoning.

From 2015 to 2017 I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the McMaster Centre for Software Certification (McSCERT), Canada.

In 2017, thanks to a CONICET Postdoctoral Scholarship, I returned to Argentina and joined the Logics, Interaction and Intelligent Systems (LIIS) group led by Carlos Areces. Ever since, I have been working on the intersection between Logic and Computer Science using tools from the world of Modal Logics.

In 2019 I joined the Department of Mathematics of the National University of Rio Cuarto as a Full-time Professor (Adjunto). In the Math department I am in charge of logic and programming courses for math and CS students.

In 2021 I joined CONICET as a Researcher (Asistente).


My research interests include:

Non-monotonic Reasoning. Default Logics. Deontic Logics. Algebraic Logic. Dynamic Logics. Epistemic Logics. Logics with Data. Tableaux Systems.
