Research Interests
Psychologist practitioner and a researcher in the fields of developmental and forensic psychology.
My most recent research project examined how well children with Autism Spectrum Disorder could recall a personally experienced event an extended period of time later and how different, yet complementary, aspects of their episodic memory changed over time.
For the last 8 years, I have been practising psychology, teaching, collaborating in scientific research. I co-authored several book chapters and scientific papers (published and/or forthcoming) in the fields of forensic and developmental psychology, juvenile delinquency and peace psychology and human rights.
