I am Assistant Professor (Professor Lector) of English Language and Linguistics at the Department of English and German Studies and in the ROLLING group at Universitat Rovira i Virgili. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor at Universitat d'Alacant. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Juan de la Cierva) and a predoctoral researcher at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in the Formal Linguistics Research Group (GLiF), where I obtained my PhD in 2021.

My research is centered on lexical semantics, verb meaning, syntax-lexicon interface, argument and event structure. I am interested in the interaction between meaning and syntactic structure, i.e in how verb meaning can determine or constrain syntactic structure. Some topics I have worked on include the expression of resultativity, argument structure alternations, unaccusativity, intentionality, and causation.
