Hello!
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Brain and Language Lab of Prof. Narly Golestani, based at Campus Biotech, Geneva.
I explore individual differences in language learning and use. I also investigate the interaction between multilingual experience and dyslexia. My research relies on both behavioural and neural data and is inspired by the evolutionary lens of the NCCR Evolving Language.
My research sits at the intersection of neuroscience, linguistics, and early childhood development, using individual differences to understand how human minds learn, adapt, and process language.
Beyond language processing, I bridge neuroscience and pedagogy through collaboration with the multisite project PRIN Di.Co.Each, to explore the neural correlates of early screen exposure in young children (ages 0–6).
My goal is to use individual variation to build a richer, more inclusive, and evidence-based understanding of human cognitive diversity.

Outreach & Advocacy
Outreach & Advocacy
Beyond the lab, I am deeply committed to science outreach, teacher training, and building an inclusive, transparent research community.
I regularly work to bridge the "gulf" between neuroscience and educational practice by delivering specialised training for the Department of Education of the Canton of Geneva on the neurobiological basis of language learning, as well as leading workshops for kindergarten teachers on the neuroscience of early screen exposure.
Through my work in Penne amiche della scienza and the OHBM Multilingual Kids Review, I bring brain science directly into classrooms, connecting active researchers with thousands of students each year to demystify scientific careers.
My advocacy also extends to equity through my work with the Women in Neuroscience Repository (WiN Repo) to promote female representation globally.
You can find all my public engagement activities on the Outreach page.
