About

Post doc fellow at the CoSAN Lab - Department of Psychology, Sapienza University of Rome and at the Neuroscience and Society laboratory - CNLS@sapienza, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia.

My research concerns the realm of immersive virtual reality and human behavior. My work focuses on the profound effects of avatar features on attitudes, behaviors and physiological responses. This line of research, extending from criminal attitudes to neuroleadership and moral decision making, sheds light on the transformative potential of immersive technology in understanding and shaping human cognition and behavior.
