I came to SISSA in 2021 as a Trento-SISSA Master’s student, and joined Davide Crepaldi’s Language, Learning & Reading Group Lab. I love to look at language from different angles, so my research has always been interdisciplinary, at the intersection between (Computational) Linguistics, Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience. I am putting this interdisciplinary approach into action in my thesis project, which focuses on the role of semantic diversity (i.e., how diverse the contexts in which a word appears are) in word processing. For this project, I mainly conducted computational work, such as working with corpora, training models, calculating semantic diversity scores, which has thought me (not without frustration) how to work with and analyse big language data. When I’m not doing that, you can find me playing violin in SISSA’s music room or admiring the view from our office, which I have photographed at least 100 times by now…
