Research interests
My PhD project is part of the Predictive processes in motor-sensory interactions research line (PI: Iria SanMiguel). My personal focus lies on auditory-motor interactions during associative learning and working memory tasks. I am especially interested in the role of agency for perception, learning and memory. I am also interested in the role of the cerebellum for predictive processing. For my PhD in the Brainlab, I am supervised by Iria SanMiguel and Jordi Costa-Faidella.
Outside of university, I enjoy writing (about research and other things) and drawing cartoons.
