I am a PhD student based at the University of Zurich and a member of the NCCR Evolving Language (WP Locality). I hold a BSc in Experimental Linguistics from UCL and a MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Trento (CIMeC).
My doctoral project investigates the processing of syntax in the context of within and cross-language variations in syntactic anti-local dependencies as well as in relation to prosody. To understand the neural mechanisms underlying the processing of such dependencies, I use neuroimaging methods in combination with computational modelling approaches.
Before starting my PhD, I worked at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, where I demonstrated EEG–MVPA can capture the temporal dynamics of speech production planning as well as its MEG counterpart.
