Biography
Marco Brambilla is Full Professor of Social Psychology at the University of Milano-Bicocca and Director of the Social Perception and Cognition Lab.

His research focuses on social cognition and impression formation, examining the role of morality in shaping impressions of individuals and groups. He also investigates how facial cues are used to form and dynamically update impressions of others, and how stereotypes and prejudice influence person perception and intergroup behavior.
He is Co-Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Social Psychology and a Fellow of the Society for Experimental Social Psychology. He directs the Executive Program in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion for Public and Private Organizations at the Bicocca Business School (Bicocca Academy).
