Biography
I earned my Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Milano-Bicocca in 2015, with a thesis titled “Network Analysis: A New Perspective on Personality Psychology,” under the supervision of Prof. Marco Perugini. Currently, I am an Associate Professor of Psychometrics at the same institution. My research primarily focuses on advancing network analysis as a statistical and theoretical framework for modeling personality, with particular emphasis on traits such as conscientiousness and honesty—the latter supported by a grant from Wake Forest University and the John Templeton Foundation (#61842). Additionally, I am engaged in the psychometric measurement of personality through both questionnaires and implicit measures. My broader research interests include the interplay between personality, behavior, and psychological situations, as well as topics like creative problem solving, statistical power, and scientific reproducibility. Since 2024, I have served as president of the international MSc program in Applied Experimental Psychological Sciences at the University of Milano-Bicocca and am currently the president-elect of the European Association of Personality Psychology (EAPP).
