Building bridges between neuroscience and experimental psychology.
Spearheading projects in human and rodent sensory perception, decision making,
and social interaction.
I ask real-world grounded questions and design naturalistic experiments
to investigate them across species with a comparative approach.
Biologist turned neuroscientist with ample interdisciplinary experience.
Studied in Latin America, now working in Germany.
Supervised projects and students in both continents.
Published peer-reviewed articles in fundamental neurophysiology, and in both human and rodent behavior and decision making.
I believe that the best way forward in the study of neuroscience is with more complex, naturalistic experimental paradigms, and to compare across species.
So I study freely moving gerbils and humans performing naturalistic tasks, to better understand the behavioral and neural basis of sensory perception, as well as decision making, social interaction and event forecasting.
