Neuroscience Tutors

During my PhD at Barts Cancer Institute I successfully supervised Masters and Undergraduate students for Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, all of whom obtained either at least a Merit or a First Class degree, respectively.

I have presented research at national and international academic conferences, for which I have received recognition and awards. Additionally, I have published numerous peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, including two first author publications.

I've started my journey in Physics at La Sapienza university of Rome, studying Astrophysics during my BSc, then Theoretical Physics for my MSc, graduating in 2014 with an experimental thesis on beta-amyloids, the fibrils causing Alzheimer's disease. Following my interest in the Neuroscience field, for my PhD work I focused on neurorehabilitation from spinal cord injury, producing a computational model of the locomotor neural network in humans and rats. Now I'm back working on theoretical physics focusing on quantum field theory.

My main strengths are theoretical physics, basic physics (classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics), quantum and statistical mechanics, matter physics, computational physics (mainly Python and Neuron) and Neuroscience. I'm also interested in the cognitive side of neuroscience, mostly in unexplained phenomena such as sleep paralysis and in memory systems.

Since 2019 I've been also working as a proofreader for MSc and PhD theses and I've been a scientific advisor for an MA Choreography thesis at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, London.

I am a Research Scientist in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Associate Lecturer and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I have more than 6 years of experience teaching and tutoring undergraduate and postgraduate students with diverse educational backgrounds.

I am currently in charge of teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students the following academic modules:

1) Introduction to Research Methods (Undergraduate);

2) Advanced Research Methods (Postgraduate);

3) Statistics (Undergraduate & Postgraduate);

4) Data analysis packages – SPSS (Undergraduate & Postgraduate);

5) EEG, ERP data analysis toolboxes – EEGLAB, Netstation (Undergraduate & Postgraduate);

6) Psychology (Undergraduate & Postgraduate);

7) Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience (Undergraduate & Postgraduate)

Given my academic position, I have a strong experience 1) preparing and presenting talks to academic audiences; 2) writing, reviewing and submitting scientific manuscripts for publication in international journals; 3) supervising and supporting undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations.
