About me

I studied Biology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and an MSc in Primatology at the Universitat de Barcelona. In 2014, I obtained a "la Caixa" Fellowship to conduct my PhD in the Department of Developmental and Comparative Psychology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology under the supervision of Prof. Michael Tomasello and Prof. Josep Call. After I graduated in 2017, I moved to the University of California San Diego with a DAAD Fellowship to conduct my first postdoc in Prof. Federico Rossano's lab in the Cognitive Science Department. In 2019, I visited the University of Zurich as a postdoc guest in the Anthropology Department, where I collaborated with Prof. Judith Burkart. In 2021 I joined the Comparative Cultural Psychology Department led by Prof. Daniel Haun at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Psychology, where I held my second postdoc. I joined the University of Stirling as a lecturer in Psychology at the beginning of 2024.
