About me

I am an Associate Professor and Researcher at EvoCo: Human Behaviour and Evolution Lab, in the Faculty of Psychology, at the Universidad El Bosque in Bogota, Colombia, and the leader of the CODEC: Cognitive and Behavioural Sciences research group (classification A1). I also serve as recommender (editor) for PCI Registered Reports.

My research interests include mate choice and human vocal communication, with an aspiration towards understanding musicality. I am also interested in bioacoustics and psychoacoustics, as well as hormonal effects on human behaviour. I am getting more and more passionate about quantitative methods and  programming, to promote reproducibility and open science.

Investigación Abierta (YouTube channel)

Investigación Abierta ["Open Research"] is a YouTube channel in Spanish where I sometimes post videos and tutorials related to quantitative research methods and open science, as well as useful open source software. You can find information in English about the channel and video series here.
