Pietro Cibinel

I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. I recently completed my PhD at Princeton University, where I was a 2024-25 Porter Ogden Jacobus Fellow.

My PhD dissertation, entitled Individual Risks and their Social Outcomes, is at the intersection of normative ethics and decision theory. It investigates key connections between rational choice, social choice, and welfare measurement. I also have interests in epistemology, especially as it relates to rational and moral decision-making. 

Here is my  CV.
