Short biography
I studied English Philology at the University of Barcelona and obtained my PhD in Catalan Philology in 2003 at the same University. I have been a researcher and assistant lecturer at the University of Barcelona (1996-2000) and at the University of Girona (2005-2009). From 2003 to 2005 I was a postdoc researcher at the University of Rome-La Sapienza and at the University of L’Aquila. In 2005 I accepted an ICREA Junior position at the University of Girona, and in 2009 I moved to the University of Barcelona, where I am ICREA Research Professor at the Department of Linguistics and Catalan Philology–IRCVM. I have been the PI of two ERC projects: The Last Song of the Troubadours. Linguistic Codification and Construction of a Literary Canon in the Crown of Aragon (ERC-StG-2008, No. 240170), and Ioculator seu Mimus. Performing Music and Poetry in Medieval Iberia (ERC-CoG-2017, No. 772762).
