Research Interests

  • I am a psychologist with expertise in sleep, pain and placebo research. With a four-year training in pain psychology (Ph.D. period) and more than three years of direct experience in placebo analgesia research (postdoctoral and research staff scientist), my background and interests focus on exploring clinical phenotypes and psychophysiological responses related to placebo/nocebo effects in chronic pain and healthy participants.
