I am a biological anthropologist specialized in the evolution of intelligence in animals.
At the intersection of Neuroscience, Evolutionary Biology, and Biological Anthropology,
my research is focused on the evolutionary path and adaptive importance of
the most complex biological structure ever studied in science: the brain.

I apply comparative neuroanatomy and phylogenetic methods to
understand how evolution and the environment have shaped and organized the brain.
My passion is to discover how and why humans are so cognitively unique,
and ultimately to understand the experience of our species in this universe.

Besides my career as a researcher, I am passionate about Data Visualization and Science Communication.
I work as a data visualizer and freelance graphic designer with the
objective of communicating complex data in a visually appealing and pleasing way.
As an Alda Center for Communicating Science certified science communicator, I provide
relevant and vetted scientific information in effective, sophisticated and attractive formats.
