I hold a PhD in Language Sciences from Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, completed at the Prosodic and Gestural Studies Group (GrEP-G). I am currently a Junior Fellow at the University of Cologne, where I work within the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) “Prominence in Language”, investigating how gesture and speech are used in autistic and non-autistic dyads.
My research examines language development and its relation with multimodality, from a practical perspective informed by implementation science. I focus on how multimodality can support the linguistic abilities of children with typical development, autism, and language disorders, and on the links between multimodal and language skills in these populations.
In April 2025, I defended my PhD thesis entitled "Developing, implementing and evaluating the MultiModal Narrative Intervention to enhance the narrative skills of children with typical development and neurodevelopmental disorders: A multimodal approach" co-supervised by Dr. Pilar Prieto (ICREA/UPF) and Dr. Alfonso Igualada (UOC).
I am also a collaborating member of GRECIL (Cognition and Language Research Group), an inter-university group from Universitat Oberta de Catalunya and Universitat de Barcelona.
