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 and sociolinguistics). Lately I've been working on the phonetics and phonology of durationally specified contours, as well as on intonational change. Together with Franco Finco and Luca melchior, I am currently engaded in a 5-year project to publish a comprehensive grammar of Friulian.

I'm a member of the UNED Phonetics Laboratory. Formerly I worked at the Phonetics Laboratory of the University of Barcelona, as well as in the Group of Prosodic Studies at the Pompeu Fabra University. 

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