Meaning and Computation Lab
I am an Associate Professor at the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CiMeC) and the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Trento. Before joining CiMeC through a direct call in 2022, I held the same position at the University of Amsterdam (2013–2022), where I led research projects at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation. I hold the Italian National Scientific Qualification as a Full Professor in Linguistics (10/G1) and as an Associate Professor in Computer Science (INF01).
I recently had the pleasure of presenting our work at the kick-off workshop of the ERC “Unpacking Paradigmatic Gaps” project in Goettingen. The workshop had an amazing program focused on theoretical, experimental, and typological perspectives on language universals. I had the pleasure of presenting our recently published paper, “Adult learning of a novel quantifier tracks semantic universals“.
