Francesca worked in the lab while she was a Bachelor student in Psychology at the University of Trieste, between 2019 and 2020. She took part into several experiments, but had a particularly prominent role in an experiment on sensitivity to the constituents' grammatical class distribution in compounds, working closely with Maria Ktori.

Francesca moved on from her position in the lab to enrol into a Master program in Data Science at the University of Trento.
