Research

I work on data analysis and research methodology in psychology. My expertise includes the application of advanced statistical methods (IRT, SEM, network analysis) for the study of:
- Cognitive processes and development, with a particular focus on validating instruments for measuring cognitive reserve in adolescence
- Attention and learning, including behavioral and psychophysiological measures
- Logical and strategic reasoning through the analysis of complex datasets

As a member of the Italian Reproducibility Network, I actively promote the principles of open science through:
- Organizing seminars and workshops on pre-registration of studies and transparency in research
- Training on reproducibility and best practices in scientific research
- Contributions to the literature on open research practices
