With a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Geneva, my academic work spans a variety of topics including syntactic theory, language acquisition, the grammar-cognition interface, bilingualism, as well as the phenotype of language disorders. This work links linguistic theory with empirical investigations, and also aims to yield concrete applications, such as fine-tuning language policies and therapeutic interventions for children with atypical language development.

I am also passionate about more generally improving the lives of people with atypical development, which has inspired the creation of the web-service: Atypicalsmile, and a novel for siblings of children with autism: Chez Nous, c’est comme ça.
