I got my degree in Psychology from the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan (Italy) in 2004.
I got my PhD in Cognitive Sciences from the University of Trento (Italy) in 2007.
I have been a visiting PhD student at the Department of General Psychology of the University of Potsdam in 2006.
From 2009 to 2019 I have been working with Prof. Karl Gegenfurtner at the Department of General Psychology (Allgemeine Psychologie Abteilung) of the Justus-Liebig University of Giessen (Germany).
During my stay at the University of Giessen I have been supported for two years (2011-13) by a fellowship from the Humboldt Foundation.
Since September 2019 I have been working as a senior researcher and associate professor at the Department of Psychology of the University of Bologna
