I obtained a M.Sc. in Neuroscience and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation in 2013 and a Ph.D. in Psychological Sciences in 2018, both at the University of Padova. I visited international research Labs (ICM, Brain and Spine Institute in Paris and Department of Movements Sciences, Catholic University of Leuven). I have been a post-doc at the Department of General Psychology at the University of Padova and a researcher at the IRCCS San Camillo Hospital in Venice.
Research interests
My research interests focus on:
• Cognitive processing in clinical populations and healthy aging
• Neuropsychological assessment of neurological patients (e.g., stroke, dementia)
• Cognitive stimulation (attention, memory, language, executive functions)
• Neurophysiological markers of neurological and psychiatric disorders
• Electrophysiology of cognitive processes
