I am a linguist working at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Nice. Previously, I held research and teaching appointments at the Universities of Zurich and Padua (where I obtained my PhD, in 2006) and was awarded two Marie Curie Fellowships from the European Commission to work at the universities of Frankfurt am Main and Bristol. My research focuses on the comparative grammar of the Romance languages, in particular on the morphosyntax of pronominal systems.
