Computation, Language & Thought Lab

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science (before CiMeC) at the University of Trento. Before joining UniTn 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). My lab studies how human and artificial minds represent meaning, learn concepts, and reason about the world.
