Davide Andrea Zappulli (龍晟雨)

My name is Davide Andrea Zappulli (Chinese name: 龍晟雨). I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. At UBC, I work under the guidance of the three members of my committee: Prof. Catherine Prueitt, Prof. Edward Slingerland, and Prof. Evan Thompson. Before coming to UBC, I got a Master’s at the University of Oslo (Norway) and a Bachelor’s at the University of Milan (Italy).

I am also the North-America coordinator of the newly founded Association for the Philosophical Study of Creativity.

Since September 2025, I am a research fellow at the Center for Human Nature, Artificial Intelligence, and Neuroscience (CHAIN) at Hokkaido University in Japan, where I work with Prof. Shigeru Taguchi 田口茂. The fellowship is funded by a grant from the CANON Foundation. Before coming to Japan, I was a research fellow at National Taiwan University. There, I worked with Prof. Lok-Chi Chan 陳樂知 from March to August 2025, sponsored by a Short-Term Research Award from the Taiwanese Ministry of Education.
