I graduated in Anthropology at University Nova de Lisboa in 1996, having studied Physics at the University of Lisbon, some years earlier. I then taught Mathematics and IT for about ten years in three elementary schools and a Higher School, where I met students with different skills and perspectives, confirming my belief that knowledge must be holistically grounded on philosophic, humanistic and scientific values. In 2014 I obtained my PhD in Philosophy at the University Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, defending the need for an Epistemology of Choice concerning free will and the (un)complete(?) simulation of human nature in AI. In 2015 I joined the Philosophy of Natural Sciences Research Group, at CFCUL, working on Philosophy of Quantum Physics. Three years after, and pursuing more foundational questions, namely realism in physics and the unification between the quantum and macroscopic scales, I have started working on the Philosophy of Quantum Gravity, related to Pilot wave theories. Although this is my main theme of research, I keep reflecting on AI present implications, on the limitations of rational thought and on artificial life ethics.
