Since October 1st, 2024, I hold an Advanced Research Position from INRIA at Loria (Laboratoire lorraine de recherche en informatique et ses applications) within the Mocqua team. I also keep a tenured professorship at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes.

I have directed several international research projects between Argentina and France, including two STIC-AmSud projects with partners from Uruguay, Chile, and Brazil, and one ECOS-Sud project. Recently, I have obtained a MSCA Staff Exchanges project called QCOMICAL, which will run from December 2024 to November 2028, involving collaborators from Argentina, Uruguay, France, and Italy. Furthermore, I was the director of the Argentinian side of the LDPL team (Logics and Dynamics of Programming Languages) at the IRP SINFIN, a collaboration between CONICET and CNRS. Additionally, until September 2024, I was the director for the LoReL team (Logic and Rewriting for Programming Languages) at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes and the Universidad de Buenos Aires.

I was an elected member of the Steering Committee of FSCD for the period 2021-2024, and I am a member of the Steering Committee of ECI for the period 2021-2026.

  There is an unintended error in the Strong Normalization proof presented in the published version. Although we conjecture that the theorem is valid, the current proof is incorrect and we are working in a correct proof.
