I am a MINDED Researcher on the Marie Curie COFUND Project MINDED, working at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, Italy. I work as part of the Cognition, Motion, and Neuroscience Unit with Professor Cristina Becchio. I am currently working on understanding how teachers adjust their actions during live pedagogical interactions to effectively structure and communicate information, with a particular focus on the role of motor variability.
Before joining IIT, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Social Mind and Body lab at the Central European University Department of Cognitive Science with Professors Natalie Sebanz and Günther Knoblich. I completed my PhD at the University of York under the supervision of Professor Steve Tipper, looking at incidental learning of trust from gaze cues.
