Simone
Testino.

I work across philosophy, mathematical logic, software and entrepreneurship, connecting complex ideas and data with practical decisions. My interests range from scientific representation to Python and SQL systems, grant-funded investment plans and a rural project in Liguria.

Current thesisIn progress

Mechanising Structuralism: Structural Languages and Theory Translation in Isabelle/HOL

Working title. The philosophical study is substantially developed. Isabelle/HOL formalisation is at an early stage, with syntax and semantics preparation and an initial scaffold.

Further interests

Database theory and finite model theory.

Three fields.
One connected path.

What keeps
me curious.

Interests, practical work and the wider projects around them.

  • Philosophy and representation

    Logic, epistemology, metaphysics and philosophy of science, with a current research focus on scientific structuralism and translations between theories.

  • From logic to data systems

    Relational data, backend design and the connection between database theory and finite model theory.

  • Building things that can be used

    Engineering workflows, reusable document systems and the restoration of rural places through ColivingLiguria.

ColivingLiguria Business
