I work as postdoctoral researcher at Rijksuniversiteit Groningen in the Faculty of Philosophy. I am part of the project "Shared Commitments and Common Knowledge", supported by the Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO). I have completed by PhD in February 2008 at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation in Amsterdam, under the supervision of Johan van Benthem (Amsterdam and Stanford) and Martin van Hees (Groningen), on the interplay between theories of intentions, rational choice and logic.
