I am a linguist working at the intersection of acoustics, psychology, and clinical innovation. My work focused on the acoustic analysis of pathological speech and the automatic detection of digital linguistic biomarkers, with the development of novel software. Most recently, I have explored the rhythmic correlates of dementia, leveraging computational tools to enhance diagnostic precision, research I presented at LREC-Coling 2024.

My research has since evolved from speech production to perception. As part of the HUMAN.AI.N-ACCENT project, I investigate how declines in cognitive and linguistic functions affect older adults’ comprehension of accented speech. By decoding these processing shifts, I aim to build more inclusive communication tools for an aging population.

Beyond the lab, I am passionate about science communication and dissemination, serving as the Social Media Committee Manager for the Young Acousticians Network (YAN), a non-profit initiative of the European Acoustics Association.

When I’m not working, I am usually at the pool, where I am regularly and quite handily outpaced by the local seniors.
