About me

Hi! I’m a cognitive scientist interested in how people construct meaning during language use. I recently completed my PhD in Biological Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina) and I am currently a Guest Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin.

My work treats meaning as a dynamic, experience-dependent phenomenon rather than a fixed property of words. I’m interested in how differences in experience shape semantic representations across speakers, how these differences emerge over time, and how they affect communication.

To investigate these questions, I combine methods from psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, and computational linguistics, such as behavioral experiments (online and in-lab), eye-tracking, distributional semantic models, and semantic network approaches.
