I hold a tenured research position at CONICET (the Argeninian national scientific council), affiliated to the Instituto de Ciencias de la Computación at the Universidad de Buenos Aires. I also hold a tenured professorship at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes.

I got my PhD in 2011 at the Université de Grenoble, working on type theory and quantum computing, and did postdocs at the Université Paris 13 (LIPN), Inria, and the Università di Torino.

I have directed three international research projects between Argentina and France: two STIC-AmSud projects, with partners also from Uruguay, Chile, and Brazil, and one ECOS-Sud project (see below). I am also the director of the Argentinian side of the LDPL team (Logics and Dynamics of Programming Languages) at the IRP SINFIN, between CONICET and CNRS. I am also the director of the LoReL team (Logic and Rewriting for Programming Languages) at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes and member of the QuICC team (Quantum Information, Computation and Communication) at the Universidad de Buenos Aires. I am member of the Steering Committee of FSCD.
