Biography

I am a cognitive neuroscientist with a strong interest in child mental health and neurodevelopment, and I have recently completed my training in pediatric neuropsychology. I have doctoral degrees in both neuroscience and clinical psychology. My research mostly focuses on neurodevelopmental conditions, with a specific interest in the study of Tourette syndrome. In the past years, my work has focused on studying cognitive control in children with Tourette syndrome and ADHD, as well as tic control through voluntary tic suppression and behavioral therapy. I am also interested in investigating irritability and anger outbursts in Tourette syndrome.

Apart from my work on Tourette syndrome and related conditions, my other interests include the study of how dyadic processes and parent-child interactions may impact child and adolescent mental health.
