Post-docs

Nadia Marie Bersier

Valeria Centanino

Valeria joined SISSA in 2019 as a Ph.D. fellow in Domenica Bueti's Time Perception Lab. She completed her Ph.D. in 2024 and currently works as a post-doctoral research fellow. Her research focuses on how temporal information is processed in the human brain, and how it interacts with other sensory features and the statistical properties of the temporal environment.

Elisabetta de Simone

I joined SISSA in 2024 as a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Davide Crepaldi’s Language and Learning Lab. I am interested in how one’s native language shapes reading behavior and how the brain accommodates different types of reading, whether print or tactile.

Raquel Fernández Martín

I joined SISSA in 2024 as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Domenica Bueti's Time Perception Lab. I am interested in understanding the neural basis of time perception within the subsecond interval by using electroencephalography (EEG). I completed my PhD in theoretical physics in 2021, in the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM).

Davide Giana

Davide joined SISSA in 2019 and is working with Mathew Diamond.

Giulio Glauco Adriaan Severijnen

Hi there! I'm Giulio and I joined SISSA in 2024 as a post doc in prof. Davide Crepaldi's lab. I am generally interested in understanding how people learn and perceive language, and what the underlying cognitive mechanisms are.

Jaroslaw Lelonkiewicz

In SISSA, I have worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2017-2021) and a Visiting Scientist (2021 – now) in the lab of Prof. Davide Crepaldi. We ran experiments with adults, children, and non-human animals (rattus norvegicus) to determine which aspects of reading can be attributed to generic properties of the visual system.

Bianca Monachesi

I joined SISSA in 2023 as RTD-A in the Neuroscience & Society Laboratory (iNSuLa). My research interests focuses on the neural correlates of various aspects of emotions, including emotion regulation, emotional intelligence, the interaction with cognitive processes, as well as their expression in complex social contexts and in psychopathological patients.

Elisabetta Pisanu

Elisabetta joined SISSA in 2019 and completed her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience in 2023. Currently, she works as a postdoctoral research fellow in Raffaella Rumiati's Neuroscience and Society Lab (iNSuLa).

Hediye Yarahmadi

Hediye joined SISSA in 2024 as a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Alessandro Treves’s Neuroscience Lab. She is passionate about data, with a background in physics, computational analysis, and programming. She is enthusiastic about understanding the dynamics of complex systems through data-driven approaches.
