I received my PhD in Psychology at the University of Padova (Italy) in 2016, under the supervision of prof. Mara Cadinu and co-supervision of prof. Anne Maass. I spent part of my PhD (September 2014 - June 2015) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (US) as a visiting scholar. Between 2016 and 2021, I was a postdoc fellow at the Department of Developmental and Social Psychology of the University of Padova (Italy). I joined the University of Surrey as a Lecturer in Social Psychology in June 2021. I joined the DPSS at the University of Padova as a fixed term assistant professor in September 2023. My main research area concerns women's sexual objectification, spanning from its causes and consequences to possible interventions.

Thesis proposals
During the AY 2023-2024, I am no longer available for bachelor and master thesis.
I am interested in supervising students on projects in the following topics, but I am happy to discuss other ideas related to my broader research areas.
- SOCIAL MEDIA: I am interested in investigating the effects of idealized/sexualized media images on both women’s and men’s body image concerns and other outcomes as well as possible protective individual differences and media literacy interventions.
- GENDER ECONOMIC INEQUALITIES and OBJECTIFICATION: Another ongoing project concerns (self-) objectification as a possible process underlying the gender pay gap. Specifically, I am investigating how objectification of women affect wage and hiring decisions, and how self-objectification affects expected career success and wage entitlement.
