I am a Junior Assistant Professor at the Psychology Department of the University of Bologna and member of the Neuroscience of Motivation, Decision and Learning Group, directed by Prof. di Pellegrino.

My research concerns the psychophysiological and neural bases of human reinforcement learning and affective processing, with a particular focus on fear.

I use a multimodal approach to conduct my research, combining behavioral, psychophysiological (e.g. skin conductance, electromyography, eye tracking), neuroimaging (EEG) techniques, both in healthy participants and in patients with brain injury.
