I am a Visiting Professor at the Business School of Torcuato Di Tella University (2025-2026), an Independent Researcher at CONICET, and a member of the Neuroscience Laboratory. I teach undergraduate courses in the Bachelor’s program in Behavioral Science at Torcuato Di Tella University. I am also a Professor at the University of Buenos Aires (currently on leave), where I taught statistics and data science, and where I served as Director of the Instituto de Cálculo in 2024.
My research lies at the intersection of cognitive science, decision-making, and belief formation. I use behavioral experiments and computational methods to study confidence, belief updating, and the evaluation of contested information under uncertainty. This work spans metacognition, misinformation, and the role of institutional distrust in shaping vulnerability to misleading health and political information.
I am also committed to teaching and public engagement. I have taught courses and workshops on statistical literacy for journalists, using real media examples and interactive exercises to help participants distinguish correlation from causation, recognize chance, and assess data quality in quantitative reporting.
I hold a degree and a PhD in Physics from the University of Buenos Aires. From 2009 to 2013, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University (with Hakwan Lau) and The Rockefeller University (with Marcelo Magnasco) in New York. My work has appeared in journals spanning experimental psychology, neuroscience, cognition, and consciousness.
