After completing a BS in Biology at the Complutense University of Madrid, I changed direction to pursue a graduate degree in Cognitive Psychology (main focus on Psycholinguistics) at the University of Arizona. At present I have a partial appointment with Utrecht University (The Netherlands) as a researcher as well as being a lecturer in Linguistics at UNE.
I have taught courses in topics ranging from Tropical Medicine to Introduction to Psychology. More relevantly, I have taught Psychology of Language at Utrecht University for several years, and am currently teaching LING 464, First Language Acquisition, at UNE.
Research interests
My main research interest is in language production in general. The focus of my present research is on the study of second language production and the interactions between first and second languages, as well as on the genetic basis of second language acquisition.Publications
