Welcome to my website

I am a cognitive neuroscientist investigating the architecture of human knowledge. My research program is dedicated to understanding the crucial relationship between semantic memory—our vast repository of concepts and word meanings—and semantic control, the set of executive processes that allow us to flexibly retrieve and use this knowledge to match our intentions.
My work seeks to answer fundamental questions: How do we navigate our conceptual knowledge to produce context-appropriate behavior? What are the neural and cognitive mechanisms that enable us to focus on specific aspects of a concept's meaning while ignoring irrelevant information? I approach these questions by examining how the brain's control mechanisms shape the representation and processing of both concrete and abstract concepts.
To map this cognitive landscape, my research integrates a multi-modal approach, combining behavioral methods with advanced neuroscience tools, including electroencephalography (EEG), non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS), neuroimaging (fMRI/fNIRS) and pupillometry.  My research spans the human lifespan and include studies with individuals recovering from post-stroke aphasia, providing critical insights into both typical and atypical cognitive functioning.
I am a strong advocate for a transparent, rigorous, and collaborative approach to science. I actively contribute to alarge-scale, open-science projects, and am committed to developing and sharing resources that strengthen the research community.

This website offers a glimpse into my research. Please feel free to explore my publications and projects, and do not hesitate to reach out for potential collaborations.
