Starting September 1, I am a principal investigator in the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences and an associate professor at the Computer Science Department at the University of Trento. I’m very excited to join this vivid community of cognitive science researchers. At the same time, I’m very grateful for all those years spent in the Institute for Logic, Language, and Computation at the University of Amsterdam. Let the new chapter begin!
