I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Linguistics and Basque Studies at the University of the Basque Country, as well as a member of The Bilingual Mind Research Group. My main line of research seeks to establish the relative role and interplay of different bilingual dimensions in (1) language processing, (2) executive control, and (3) cognitive reserve in healthy aging. I am conducting this research under the supervision of Dr. Irene de la Cruz-Pav\u00eda and Dr. Adam Zawiszewski.<\/p>\n
