Riccardo Dossena's home page

Riccardo Dossena was born in Milan, Italy, on 1975. He graduated in Mathematics at the University of Pavia. In 2001 he was a member of the Local Organizing Committee of the International Conference "Model-Based Reasoning: Scientific Discovery, Technological Innovation, Values" (Pavia) and he collaborated on editing the relative prooceedings books. Now, he is a High School Mathematics and Physics teacher and he collaborate on the Computational Philosophy Laboratory Research Program at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Pavia. His main research interests are Non-standard Analysis, Mathematical Logic, Set Theory, Model Theory, Philosophy of Science and Cognitive Sciences applied to Mathematics and Calculus in particular.
