I was born in Salerno, the historical city where the first-ever "Schola Medica" was founded.
After high school, I moved to the University of Chieti, where I graduated summa cum laude in Cognitive Psychology under the supervision of Giorgia Committeri.
Later, I joined the Cognitive Neuropsychology Centre at the ASST Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda in Milan for my training in Clinical Neuropsychology.
From 2012 to 2015, I was enrolled in the PhD program in “Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience” at the University of Pavia, supervised by Gabriella Bottini. I spent one year of my PhD program at the Brain and Cognition Lab at the University of Oxford, under the supervision of Kia Nobre.
From 2016 to 2021, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Brain and Behavioral Sciences of the University of Pavia.
Currently, I am an associate professor in Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology in the Department of Brain and Behavioral Sciences of the University of Pavia.
