My research focuses on personality traits, particularly impulsivity and aggression, from an interdisciplinary perspective aimed at understanding risk-related behaviors, integrating socio-criminological, biological, and cognitive factors. This work is grounded in the assumption that human behavior emerges from dynamic interactions between the social environment and underlying neurobiological processes. As part of a Marie Curie (IOF) fellowship, I completed my postdoctoral training at UCLA, in the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab within the Department of Psychology.

As a clinical criminologist and psychotherapist by training, I view the integration of academic research with field-based work as a central component of my work. Bringing these perspectives together, I believe that sustained engagement with the community is essential for advancing both theoretical research in criminology and its practical applications, particularly in contexts involving populations at risk.
