and Physical Sciences at Aston University. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Science and Engineering for Humans and the Environment (curriculum of Bioengineering), awarded by Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome.Her research lies at the intersection of computational neuroengineering, multimodal neuroimaging, and network theory, with a focus on pediatric brain disfunctions. During her Ph.D., she investigated the integration of structural and functional neuroimaging data to characterize epileptic activity in the pediatric brain, employing network-based models to describe large-scale brain dynamics.
Her postdoctoral work expanded to computational and translational approaches in neurological disorders, including epilepsy and Chiari malformation. In parallel, she has also contributed to the study of nucleic acid biophysics, examining the physical principles underlying their structure and function.
