Room E335, Forgan Smith Building (1)
Claudio specialises in formal philosophy of science and epistemology. His previous research projects concerned the metaphysical foundations of physics and the epistemic principles guiding probabilistic causal discovery. His research interests include also the formal representation of thinking under uncertainty, the nature of scientific understanding, and the epistemology of statistical inference.
In his role as Program Manager, Claudio is responsible for the delivery of all UQCTP engagement and professional development programs, and for the coordination of all initiatives run in collaboration with internal and external partners.
