    I am a SUPSI Associate Professor in Epistemology, Logic and Ethics of AI, working since 2015 at the Swiss AI Lab [IDSIA (USI-SUPSI)], where I am co-leading the AI & Society research area. In addition, I am the coordinator and PI for SUPSI in the European University Alliance [EUonAIR], focused on Responsible AI and Education.
    Before that, I was Assistant Professor at the [Informatics Institute ] of the University of Warsaw, where I was leading a  [Homing Plus project on fixpoint logics]. Even before, I was a Visiting Researcher at the [ Computer Science Department] of the UCSC, and later a Post-Doc at the [Information and Language Processing Systems group] of the University of Amsterdam.

    I finished my PhD in 2010, under the co-supervision of [Jacques Duparc] (U. Lausanne) and [Igor Walukiewicz] (LaBRI - U. Bordeaux 2). Before that, in 2006 I completed a two years Doctoral Program in Logic and Foundations of Mathematics at the University of Barcelona.
