I was trained as a biologist and as a linguist. My current research focuses on the biological underpinnings of human language. I explore available genetic and neurobiological data in order to gain a more accurate view of how language is implemented at the brain level and how it has evolved in the species.
I am currently associate professor at the University of Seville (Spain) and Faculty Research Fellow at the University of Oxford (UK)
