Students

Ludovica De Paolis

I joined SISSA in 2022 as a PhD student under the supervision of Eugenio Piasini. My research lies at the intersection between deep learning and cognitive neuroscience. In particular, I use deep neural networks for studying several properties of human and computer vision.

Anindita Basu

I joined SISSA in 2022 as a graduate student under Cognitive Neuroscience department. I am currently trying to understand how different cognitive interventions can alter our first person human experience. I am specifically interested to theoretically model higher cognitive phenomena like mind-wandering/mindfulness, perception of self, and memory retrieval dynamics. Other than that, I enjoy traveling, dancing, reading, painting/sculpting, and listening to music.

Francesca Iris Bellotti

Francesca is a Ph.D. student in the Time Perception Lab since 2020, under the supervision of Domenica Bueti. Her research interest focuses on the brain mechanisms for temporal encoding, and she is specialising in EEG and TMS techniques. Francesca has a background in Philosophy, Cognitive Science and Neuropsychology.

Nadia Marie Bersier

Yukti Chopra

Yukti joined SISSA in 2021 and is working with Mathew Diamond in the SENSEx Lab.

Chiara Di Domenico

I joined SISSA in 2022 as a master's student in Cognitive Neuroscience and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the Visual Neuroscience Lab under the supervision of Prof. Davide Zoccolan.

Judit Fiedler

Judit joined SISSA in 2020 and is working with Alessandro Treves.

Davide Giana

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

Francesco Guido Rinaldi

I received my Master's Degree in Physics from the University of Rome "La Sapienza". Afterwards, I worked as a research fellow at IIT under the supervision of Giancarlo Ruocco, focusing on graph theoretical properties of Symmetric Recurrent Neural Networks. I joined the Neural Computation Lab in 2021 as a Ph.D.

Mojtaba Khodadadi

Mojtaba joined SISSA in 2018 and is working with Dr. Chris Mathys. He is interested in statistical learning, Physics of complex systems, collective behaviors, and economics as well as computational psychiatry.
Prior to starting his Ph.D., he obtained a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics from Isfahan University of Technology.
