Hello!
I am an Associate Professor in Neuropsychology at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Barcelona) and member of the NeuroADas Lab.
I have a keen interest in neuropsychology, with a specific focus on examining speech production deficits in bilingual speakers following brain damage, encompassing both neurodegeneration and post-stroke scenarios. Additionally, my research extends to exploring the underlying mechanisms of bilingualism as a cognitive reserve factor in age-related diseases.
I earned my Ph.D. in Psychobiology from the University of Padua (Italy) with a clinical and research training in neuropsychology at the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory in Brescia (Italy). From 2009 to 2019, I was a member of the Speech Production and Bilingualism (SPB) group at the Center for Brain and Cognition at Pompeu Fabra University.
