Biography

Sergi studied at the University of Valencia, where he was PhD Research Fellow for four years and completed his Dissertation in 2009. During that time, he spent some months at the University of Birmingham and was Visiting Student in spring 2007 at the University of California, San Diego. In April 2010 he joined Sheffield´s Philosophy Department as a Visiting Researcher after receiving a two-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship granted by the Generalitat Valenciana. He participates in the research project on "Belief, Responsibility and Action," funded by the Spanish Government, and is member of Phrónesis – Analytic Philosophy Group and Nomos Network.

His doctoral dissertation focused on the phenomenon of moral luck and its repercussions for moral responsibility and agency, question that he plans to develop further during his postdoctoral stay in Sheffield. He is also interested in the free will and moral responsibility literature, the role played by the reactive attitudes in blame, the relation between beliefs and the will, emotions and rational control and some experimental challenges upon philosophical questions.
