Pietro Cibinel
I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. My work 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.
I 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 about a cluster of philosophical issues that surround Harsanyi's social aggregation theorem.
Here is my CV.
