I am currently the NLP Lab Manager at Laboratorio Sperimentale, a research lab set up at LILEC, University of Bologna and equipped with state-of-the-art hardware and software for experimental, computational and applied research in the fields of linguistics, translation and cultural studies. The current Scientific Coordinator of the Lab is prof. Francesca Masini.

Before this, I got my PhD at CIMeC - University of Trento, under the supervision of Aurélie Herbelot.

My research interests are Computational Construction Grammars, Cognitive Linguistics and Natural Language Processing.

On the side, I am studying to become Italian Sign Language (LIS) interpreter and I would very much like to bring this interest of mine into my research as well.

Everything in life is a work-in-progress, this place especially.
