I'm a linguist working at the Dept. of Spanish Language and General Linguistics at UNED (National Distance Education University, Madrid, Spain).

Most of my research is on prosody (intonation and rhythm), but I'm also interested in other subjects (morphology, sociolinguistics, and forensic phonetics). Lately I've been working on the phonetics and phonology of durationally specified contours, like chanted vocatives in Ladin or yes-no questions in Southern Valencian Catalan.

I'm a member of the UNED Phonetics Laboratory and I cooperate with the Group of Prosodic Studies at the Pompeu Fabra University since 2009. I'm also a research fellow at the University of South Africa (Department of Linguistics and Modern Languages).

I obtained a PhD in Sociology at the University of Trieste in 2004 and a PhD in Linguistics at the University of Barcelona in 2012.
