In July 2025, I joined the Language and Cognition Lab at University College London as a Research Fellow. Here, I work on how adults and children learn in interaction with others across cultures (UK, China, Italy, Morocco), using experimental and corpus analysis methods.

Before then, I held some research and teaching posts at the University of Edinburgh. For my research posts, I worked on language evolution, social learning and data analysis. In my teaching posts, I assisted undergraduate and postgraduate students with academic writing and stats.

I obtained my PhD from the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. During my PhD, I was also an Early Stage Researcher in the CoBra Network, and I worked on alignment in conversation (i.e., how people come to see the world in a similar way by talking to each other).

Some of my most recent interests include studying how information propagates in communities of speakers through interaction, how people learn from each other, and how they create new knowledge. I enjoy designing experiments that balance controlled design with participants’ freedom to interact spontaneously, observing how the conversation unfolds. I also care about data visualisation, as I see it as a tool to make scientific output democratic and accessible (I wrote a brief post about it here).
