Ciao! I am a cognitive neuroscientist at The University of Sydney, Brain and Mind Centre, in Sydney, Australia.
I did my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University, in Canada. During my graduate studies, I used state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques and introduced new multivariate statistical approaches to better quantify and contextualise fMRI BOLD signal dynamics within the brain’s dynamic multi-scale architecture.
In my postdoc, I am now interested in taking this work a step further and broaden the lens through which cognition is operationalised and linked to neuroimaging data. My goal is to build more accurate models of brain-behaviour interactions, leveraging theories and tools from different disciplines that deal with multi-scale complex systems, such as the brain.
I am also deeply passionate about science education and communication. I devolve lots of time and resources to the creation of programs, workshops, classes, initiatives that bring neuroscience to younger and older generations and to the public. I firmly believe in a (scientific) world where learning is fun, creative, accessible, and interdisciplinary.
I acknowledge funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR, FRN #MFE-193920).
