About

Edson Bezerra holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the State University of Campinas (2021), where he studied logic and the philosophy of logic. Since 2022, he has been a postdoctoral fellow at IIF-SADAF-CONICET and a member of BA-Logic. His main interests focus on non-classical logics, particularly substructural logics and many-valued modal logics, and their philosophical applications.

He has published his research in prestigious journals such as the Logic Journal of the IGPL, the Asian Journal of Philosophy, and Logic and Logical Philosophy. He participates in international research projects funded by the ECOS program (France) and the EU’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, thereby fostering sustained international collaboration.
