I am an early-career researcher in the field of Cognitive Science. I am currently a PhD student with a strong research
interest in embodied cognition. My work examines how interoceptive processes — our perception and awareness of
internal bodily states — contribute to the formation and organization of conceptual representations.
Specifically, I investigate how alterations in interoceptive sensitivity and processing may influence cognitive and affective
mechanisms involved in the onset and maintenance of eating disorders, as well as how interoception functions and
changes during pregnancy, with a particular focus on women’s bodily awareness across gestation.
By integrating behavioral, physiological, and theoretical approaches, my research aims to advance our understanding of the interaction between bodily awareness and higher-level cognitive functions.
