I am a cultural historian and a philologist dealing with pre-Hispanic and early-colonial Mesoamerican cultures and religions. My research focuses particularly on the Nahuas (Aztecs) and their language, Nahuatl. I adopt an interdisciplinary approach, which places my work at the intersection of ethnohistory, cultural anthropology, philology, and religious studies. In recent years, my main interests evolved around performances, humor, laughter, and culture-contact phenomena. I am interested in exploring how Spanish (and more broadly, European) cultural heritage has influenced and biased our understanding of pre-Hispanic reality since the early sixteenth century.

Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Iberian and Ibero-American Studies at the Faculty of Modern Languages of the University of Warsaw.

I like dogs (particularly one Jack Russell Terrier named Loki), tennis, Marvel universe, and crime series.
