Since October 2024, I hold an Advanced Research Position at INRIA within the Mocqua team, based at Loria (Laboratoire lorrain de recherche en informatique et ses applications), funded through the PEPR integrated project EPiQ (ANR-22-PETQ-0007) under the France 2030 Plan. I also maintain a tenured professorship at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes.

I have led several international research projects between Latin America and Europe, including two STIC-AmSud projects, one ECOS-Sud project, and currently the MSCA Staff Exchanges project QCOMICAL (2024-2028), involving partners from Argentina, Uruguay, France, and Italy.

I was the Argentinian director of the LDPL team (Logics and Dynamics of Programming Languages) at the IRP SINFIN, a collaboration between CONICET and CNRS. Until September 2024, I also directed the LoReL team (Logic and Rewriting for Programming Languages) at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes and Universidad de Buenos Aires. I was also a member of the QuICC team (Quantum Information, Computation, and Communication) at the Universidad de Buenos Aires.

I served as an elected member of the Steering Committee of FSCD for the period 2021–2024.

Current Responsibilities:

• French coordinator of the Logics and Dynamics of Programming Languages team at the IRP SINFIN (CONICET-CNRS).
• Member of the Steering Committee of the Escuela de Ciencias Informáticas for the period 2021-2026.
• Associated Editor of IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC).
• Guest Editor of the Special Issue on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL 2024 and QPL 2025) at JLAMP.

Next events

• July 14-18, 2025: 22nd International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL 2025) (PC co-chair)
• September 22-26, 2025: 29th Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP 2025) (PC member)
• October 6-8, 2025: 20th International Symposium on Logical and Semantic Frameworks, with Applications (LSFA 2025) (PC member)
