SHORT BIO:
Francesca Poggiolesi is a CNRS Directrice de Recherche (Full Professor), co-leading the logic and philosophy of mathematics group of the IHPST, Paris. Broadly speaking, her research interest covers both foundational philosophical issues, as well as more technical logical problems: the common core of these different perspectives is represented by the employment of a similar methodology rooted in proof-theoretic tools. In the last years she has been focusing on the notion of explanation that she has been analyzing in different areas ranging from mathematics to explainable AI. Her research has been awarded by the French National Agency of Research with the four-years grant “Bolzano’s Insights.” She is the author of the book “Gentzen Calculi for Modal Propositional Logic,” and one of the editors in chief of the Journal of Philosophical Logic.
