I am a post-doctoral researcher with Alfonso Caramazza, working at the University of Trento, Italy. I just finished my graduate work in the Brain and Cognitive Sciences department at MIT.

My research is aimed at the following questions:

• How is visual knowledge organized across the cortex and what is the role of experience in where these regions are located? Are these knowledge representations inherently visual or multi-sensory?

• What is the capacity of our visual memory systems, and what factors support detailed visual memory?

• How does incoming visual information become integrated into existing knowledge over time? How are early and high-level visual areas modified with each presented stimulus?

When I'm thinking about applications, my favorite topic is about the optimal ways to present visual information using new digitial technologies so that people can access it, use it, learn it, etc, as fast and easily as possible.
