About me

PhD Student in Cognitive and Brain Sciences, track Language, Interaction and Computation at CLIC Lab (CIMeC, University of Trento) under the supervision of Raffaella Bernardi. My current research - at the intersection between Computational Linguistics, Computer Vision and Cognitive Science - is focused on the learning of quantity expressions (numbers, proportions, quantifiers). I'm a proud member of QUANTIT-CLIC - QUANTities in Images and Text at CLIC Lab. I’d define myself as an enthusiastic and proactive person. "Let's try!" is my personal motto.

Besides academia, I'm co-founder, project manager and artistic director of indievano and contributor for Offset Magazine. I also love writing stories.
