I hold a PhD in Cognitive and Information Sciences from the University of California, Merced, and I am currently starting a Research Fellow position at the National University of Singapore's School of Computing. I have a background in social and cultural anthropology from the University of Buenos Aires, and I am broadly interested in the feedback between environment, culture and individual decision-making — and how this feedback leads to the evolution, persistence and/or collapse of cultural institutions that scaffold cooperation in human communities. My work is grounded, above all, in formal tools: game theory, agent-based simulation, and Bayesian inference. At NUS — as a member of CoSI Lab — I am working on cultural evolution-inspired applications for the development of cooperative, culturally-aligned AI systems.

I am also a member of the Sanguatsiniq research group and Antropocaos.
