I am currently a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Psychology and Deputy Director of the Arts and Wellbeing Research Centre at Edge Hill University in U.K.

Before that, I worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Udine. My research focused on the plasticity of anticipatory perception of body actions in motor experts and novices. For this, I applied a series of behavioural and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies. I was also collaborating in other projects involving investigations of body and action perception.

I received my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from City, University of London, Department of Psychology. During my PhD studies I was looking at the Gibsonian notion of "affordances"; that is the automatic activation of motor plans during object perception.

Previously, I received a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, an MSc in Cognitive Neuropsychology from Oxford Brookes University and I had extensive training in Research Methods and Statistics as part of the MSc in Psychological Research at the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford.
