I conduct research in cognitive science. My work aims to understand why languages are the way they are, how they came to be this way, and what this tells us about their users.
<br><br>
I'm a tenure-track professor at the <a href='https://www.upf.edu' target='_blank'>Universitat Pompeu Fabra</a> in Barcelona, Spain. You can reach me via email at firstname.lastname@upf.edu (English, German, Spanish, or Catalan); or physically at Roc Boronat 138, office 52.609.

<h2><a name="about" class="about"></a>About</h2>
<p>
Since 2022, I'm a tenure-track professor at the <a href='https://www.upf.edu' target='_blank'>Universitat Pompeu Fabra</a>'s <a href='https://www.upf.edu/web/traduccio' target='_blank'>Department of Translation and Language Sciences</a>, where I'm a member of the <a href="https://www.upf.edu/web/colt" target='_blank'>Computational Linguistics and Linguistic Theory</a> group. From the fall of 2019 to early 2022, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the European Research Council project <a href='https://www.upf.edu/web/amore' target='_blank'>AMORE</a>, <i>A Distributional Model of Reference to Entities</i>, also at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
</p>
<p>
From 2014 to 2018, I conducted doctoral research at the <a href="http://www.illc.uva.nl/" target='_blank'>Institute for Logic, Language and Computation</a> in Amsterdam. Within this period, I also spent time at the <a href="http://www.cisa.inf.ed.ac.uk/" target='_blank'>Artificial Intelligence and its Applications Institute</a> in Edinburgh and the <a href='https://www.csl.sony.fr/' target='_blank'>Sony Computer Science Laboratory</a> in Paris. My PhD research fellowship was awarded through <i>ESSENCE</i>, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Initial Training Network on the <i>Evolution of Shared Semantics in Computational Environments</i>.
</p>
<p>
Before moving to Amsterdam, I received a bachelor's and a master's in linguistics from the <a href="http://www.isi.hhu.de/en/departments/department-of-general-linguistics.html" target='_blank'>University of Düsseldorf</a>. From 2011 to 2014, I was also a research assistant in the <a href="http://www.sfb991.uni-duesseldorf.de/en/the-structure-of-representations-in-language-cognition-and-science/" target='_blank'>CRC 991</a> (Project B01: <em>Verb frames at the syntax-semantics interface</em>).
