Dottorandi del XL Ciclo
Bikash Kumar BEHERA (Tutor: Prof. Roberto Giuntini, Prof. Giuseppe Sergioli)
I am a PhD student in Philosophy, Epistemology, and Human Sciences at the University of Cagliari. I obtained my integrated Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree in Physical Sciences from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Kolkata in 2018. I have been actively engaged in quantum computing research, with a particular focus on quantum machine learning. My PhD project is leveraging quantum formalism to enhance machine learning classification algorithms. Mainly, my research focuses on designing scalable quantum-inspired AI and quantum algorithms, exploring novel multi-class classification techniques, and advancing the capabilities of quantum-enhanced learning models.
Matteo DA PELO (Tutor: Prof. Pietro Salis – Università di Cagliari, Prof. Antonio Lieto – Università di Salerno)
After many year of studies, including a bachelor in Philosophy, a Master’s Degree in Logic, Philosophy and History of Science and one in Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence and Digital World, I am now a PhD Student at UniCa. My project aims to study the Strong AI position, that is, that our cognition is entirely simulable, and show that at least its “weaker” form it’s possible, in a dynamic, embodied and emergentist cognitive approach. One of my most important focus it’s to show the epistemological power of AI models: for the better understanding of our cognition, the study of those new digital cognitive forms could be really outstanding. My research interests are of course Artificial Intelligence and its Philosophy, Philosophy of Information, Philosophy of Technologies, Philosophy of Mind, Paraconsistent Logic, Bioethics and AI Ethics.
Sara DEIDDA (Tutor: Prof.ssa Elisabetta Gola, Prof. Simone Sangiorgi)
I am a PhD student in Philosophy, Epistemology, and Human Sciences at the University of Cagliari, with a background in languages and communication and a specific expertise in brand strategies and digital marketing.
My research focuses on the strategic and ethical implications of artificial intelligence in social media marketing. Specifically, I investigate how AI-generated content affects engagement, authenticity, and corporate reputation. I also examine the evolving role of social media managers, exploring how AI is reshaping their profession enhancing creativity, optimizing strategies, but also raising ethical concerns. My goal is to bridge the gap between technological innovation and ethical responsibility, providing insights and best practices for the responsible use of AI in digital communication.
Filippo RASERA (Tutor: Prof. Francesco Paoli, Prof. Antonio Ledda)
I graduated from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice with a bachelor’s degree in Classics and I obtained my master’s degree in Philosophy at the University of Padua. I wrote my master thesis on mereology, focusing on its second-order and plurally quantified formulations.
I am currently a PhD Student at the University of Cagliari under the supervision of Professor Francesco Paoli and Professor Antonio Ledda. My research falls within the scope of formal logic, in particular algebraic logic.
