Biography

I'm a Postdoc Researcher at the Centre of Excellence in Music, Mind, Body and Brain (University of Jyväskylä, Finland). Here I do research in Psychology of Music and Psychology of Audiovisuals. Moreover, I take care of the methodological / psychometric aspects of several projects. I received my PhD in Psychology & Cognitive Science at Sapienza University of Rome with a project on the influence of soundtracks on the interpretation of audiovisuals in terms of several psychological mechanisms, such as empathy, attributed emotions, attention (eye-tracking & pupillometry), time perception, and memory. My fields of research involve psychology of music, face perception, and moral psychology. The emphasis in my studies lies in achieving methodological rigor and high-level statistical analysis (GLMM, SEM, LGM, MDS, Latent Profile/Class, etc.) complemented by a creative approach to experimental methodology. I have the pleasure and honor to actively collaborate with several research institutes all over the world, among which: Institute Jean Nicod (École Normale Supérieure, Paris, France), Universidad Católica Luis Amigó (Medellín, Colombia), University of Victoria (Canada), University of Oxford (UK), University of York (UK), and Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies (CNR, Italy).
