About
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), working with Evelina Fedorenko and Roger Levy. My work combines computational modeling, behavioral experimentation, and brain imaging to study how language is represented and processed in humans and machines.
I received my Ph.D. in Psychology, Linguistics, and Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Milan–Bicocca, where I worked with Marco Marelli on multilingual neural language models and their relevance for cognitive science. Before that, I completed a Master’s in Cognitive Science at the University of Trento (CIMeC).
