About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher and adjunct professor of social psychology at the University of Milano-Bicocca, where I completed my PhD in 2019 with a project on dehumanization. During my doctoral studies, I had the opportunity to collaborate as a visiting researcher at Panteion University in Athens, where I focused on the role of dehumanization in political propaganda.
Since 2019, I have held postdoctoral positions at both the University of Valle d'Aosta and the University of Milano-Bicocca. In addition, I taught social and group psychology at the University of Trento. More recently, I was a fixed-term researcher and assistant professor at Pegaso University, gaining experience in digital teaching strategies.
Beyond the topic of dehumanization, my research interests span a range of areas, including gender stereotypes, socioeconomic inequality, and food sustainability. I predominantly use experimental and quantitative methods, although I also incorporate qualitative approaches when the research questions call for deeper insight into individual experiences or social processes.
