I am Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) in French Linguistics and Translation Studies at the University of Catania, Department of Political and Social Sciences. My academic journey includes an MA in Comparative Literature from Sorbonne, a PhD in “History and Semiology of Text and Images” from USPC Paris, and postdoctoral experience at UZH Zurich. I am a proud twice recipient of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship (Global and European), with extensive experience in grant writing and managing transnational agreements. My firsthand experience with various significant funding programs (including Banting, Newton, INTERREG, and ERC Grants) has equipped me with the insights to guide over 50 researchers to grant success.
