Biography
I am an assistant professor in psychology at the University of Bradford. After I completed my undergraduate degree in Developmental and Relational Psychology, in 2011 I graduated in Dynamic, Clinical, and Community Psychology with highest honour at the University of Naples Federico II(Italy). In 2016, I completed my Ph.D. in Gender Studies at the University of Naples Federico II and as a visiting student at the University of East London. Having met the criteria proposed by the Confederation of EU Rectors' Conference (now EUA), I was awarded the additional title of Doctor Europaeus(European Ph.D.).Before I joined the Division of Psychology at the University of Bradford, I worked for 3 years at Leeds Beckett University in the field of health promotion and community wellbeing. In 2021, I took part in a joint project between the Open University and the University of Brighton to explore mobile Health-based (mHealth) couple relationship quality.
Research
As a researcher, I am committed to exploring and promoting happiness, well-being, andquality of life. To accomplish this goal, I use a critical and ecological approach, which allows me to understand howconditions of social justice and equality impact on the wellbeing ofindividuals, communities, and countries around the world. My work is also driven by an inter-disciplinary interest in critically integrating contributions from multiple academic fields including psychology, sociology, economics, and contemporary feminism to find novel solutions to old and newsocietal issues.My methodological approach makes use of mixed methods and I specialise in cutting-edgequantitative techniques such as Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to validate wellbeing instruments. I also work withseveral qualitative methods and literature synthesis to investigate multipleaspects of individual and community wellbeing.Research collaborators
