Me, academically speaking.

I am a Professor at the Centre for Cognitive Sciences of the University of Neuchâtel. 

My current work lies in the interdisciplinary field of pragmatics, which explores language and communication from a cognitive perspective.

I have recently completed the project "Pragmatics meets epistemic vigilance: Explaining the development of irony comprehension" (2020-2026) sponsored by a SNSF Eccellenza Grant.

Starting in 2027, I will co-lead the SNSF-funded projet "Individual differences in epistemic vigilance: From attachment to pragmatics" with Alessandro Talia (University of Lausanne).

I am also a member of the NCCR Evolving Language. In this context, I work on storytelling and the role of language in fostering human hypercooperation.
