I have recently defended my PhD thesis at the Research Group on Mathematical Linguistics of Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona, Spain.

I am currently holding a Juan de la Cierva postdoc position at University of Cantabria  (December 2009- November 2012).

To keep track of what I do and where I am you can visit my weblog. Unfortunately, at least for the time being, it is available only in Romanian.

I enjoy travelling*, snorkelling/diving, cooking, watching movies and all activities that imply spending time outdoors (as long as it is not raining). I like studying new languages and discovering intriguing details about different cultures.

• English:      fluent
• Spanish:    good knowledge
