  • Profile

    I am a PhD Researcher in the IP-PAD (Interdisciplinary perspectives on the Politics of Adolescence & Democracy) PhD project, at the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (University of Amsterdam).
    With a background in Neurobiology and Social and Affective Neuroscience, my work focuses on bridging the gap between Psychophysiology and Politics, in an attempt towards explaining the development and biological underpinnings of Ideological and Partisan Identity.
