      At A*STAR, my work revolves around advancing the field of Nutrition and Health. I delve into a diverse range of health conditions, with a specialized emphasis on studies on cognition, mood, and sleep studies. My primary role involves orchestrating the design of clinical studies and meticulously crafting protocols to uphold both scientific integrity and operational feasibility. I undertake thorough and incisive assessments of the scientific and methodological landscapes, fostering a comprehensive understanding. Additionally, I contribute to the development of IRB packages, aiding in the meticulous preparation required for ethical review.

      The focus of my joint Ph.D., which I started in Grenoble, was on shedding light on stress regulation processes. I examined the evidential value of various stress regulation practices (i.e., mindfulness) to explain better when and why these stress regulation practices are beneficial for people’s well-being. I appraised the available evidence of these strategies on stress regulation in two meta-analyses (the first was pre-registered, and the second was a Registered Report). Finally, when I was in Swansea, I led a multi-site project with a collaboration of 37 universities worldwide to determine which single mindfulness exercise was effective in decreasing stress and which was not.

      I collaborated with a team of researchers on the project SIDERA B. In this team, I helped the creation of a platform context-aware, in which smart technologies (e.g.wearable sensors) handled the care path of patients with chronic diseases.

      In Digital Attitude, I worked on developing a virtual assistant, which had the central role of helping the workers of a company reduce technostress and making them learn new "digital" habits. The virtual assistant simplified their own and their colleagues’ work and finally improved their digital mastery.

      The research I did was centered around the implications of social interactions inside a Virtual Reality (VR). I conducted psychological experiments to deepen the effect of social exclusion experienced by individuals inside a Virtual Reality.

      During the national competition "Mimprendo 2015," I developed, with the support of a team, a bracelet in order to help pathological gamblers to stop gambling. For this project, my team was awarded by "Rotary Club Padova Est" prize for the social impact of the idea.The bracelet was not thought to be a replacement for a traditional care pathway, but it wanted to be an additional tool for the people that wanted to quit gambling.
