I conducted my doctoral studies at the National University of Tucumán in Argentina (Advisors: Elisa Colombo and Luis Issolio). Then, I moved to the University of Illinois at Chicago in the United States for a three-year postdoctoral stay in the laboratory of Dr. Dingcai Cao. After that, I obtained a position at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council of Argentina, where I established my lab. I’m currently doing a research stay in the Laboratory of Dr. Karl Gegenfurtner at the Giessen University in Germany.
I’m interested in understanding how signals from photoreceptors in the eye are combined to build different light-dependent functions, such as vision and non-visual physiological responses. I use psychophysics, computational modeling, and pupillometry to carry out my investigations. Mainly, my research is fundamental, but part is applied mostly in the ophthalmology field. Also, I’m interested in the study of chromatic regularities in nature, and science dissemination and politics in developing nations. I’m maintaining collaborations with researchers in Germany, Spain, Portugal, the US and the UK.
