Federica Imbriale
PhD candidate in Philosophy
Biography
Federica Imbriale is a PhD candidate in Philosophy at Northeastern University London. Her research lies at the intersection of social epistemology and philosophy of science, with a focus on misinformation, fact-checking, and the dynamics of belief formation in social networks. Her doctoral research develops a systems-oriented account of epistemic success and investigates how corrective interventions, such as fact-checking, may influence collective inquiry. Her work combines philosophical analysis with agent-based simulations of epistemic networks to study how information spreads and how different social configurations may affect epistemic outcomes. Her broader interests include virtue epistemology and the epistemology of inquiry.
