Research Interest

My main interest is around epistemic logic, especially the issues connected with preference,

belief and games. There are two main gaps in the current logical literature on game playing.

Both have to do with the fact that players take decisions all the time, and these decisions are

based on two aspects: their preferences and the probabilities that they assign to possible

outcomes of their actions. I am working on enriching the preference logic framework with

numerical probabilities to capture the underlying probabilistic reasoning, without losing its

essential features. I want to get a better perspective on: what are the limitations and advantages

of logical methods for analyzing decisions and games.
