Neuroscientist specializing in cognitive and social processing in neuropsychiatric patients and populations exposed to violence. His research in social neuroscience explores the impact of adverse experiences on brain function and behavior, with a particular focus on developing neurocognitive metrics to assess the effects of violence and brain disorders. He holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and Neuroscience and has published extensively in high-impact journals, particularly in the areas of social cognition, neuroscience of violence, and vulnerability in at-risk populations. Currently, he is a Full Professor in the Department of Psychological Studies at Icesi University, where he has played a key role in advancing neuroscience education. He founded and directs both the Master’s in Social Neuroscience and the Master’s in Clinical Neuropsychology, pioneering graduate programs that integrate social and clinical neuroscience. Additionally, he established and leads the Laboratory of Social and Cognitive Sciences, specializing in behavioral and electrophysiological (EEG) studies. His research extends to brain health, emphasizing neurocognitive resilience in populations affected by social and neuropsychiatric challenges. He is deeply committed to neuroscience education and training, fostering the next generation of researchers and professionals.
