I am an Associate Professor at the Deafness, Cognition and Language Research Centre (DCAL) and the Department of Experimental Psychology, UCL. I did my undergraduate degree on Biomedical Research at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). I graduated from the Wellcome Trust 4-year PhD Programme in Neuroscience at University College London (UCL), and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Royal Holloway University of London and at DCAL. From 2016-2019, I was a lecturer at the School of Psychology, University of East Anglia (UEA).




I am the head of the Deafness and Neural Plasticity Lab. Using neuroimaging, pharmacological and behavioural techniques, my main research interest is neural plasticity, aiming to understand the capabilities and constraints of the human brain. My research focuses on deafness, because of the possibility to study neural plasticity in cognitive and sensory systems, and the strong potential for societal impact.
