I am a cognitive scientist specializing in network neuroscience. My research focuses on the dynamics of network reorganization over time — how large-scale brain networks adapt and restructure in response to learning, training, and changing environmental demands. I seek to understand how cognitive functions and states emerge from interactions within distributed neural systems, and how brain–body interactions shape these dynamic processes. In addition, I am interested in the psychophysiology of stress and trauma, and in how stress-related processes influence adaptation at both individual and collective levels.

Within the EUROpest project, I contribute a cognitive and systems-level perspective to the study of epidemics in late medieval and early modern Europe. I am particularly interested in examining how multiple interacting pressures – epidemiological, climatic, economic, social, and psychological – may shape the dynamics of socio-economic systems over time. Using network-based approaches, I want to understand how such systems reorganize under cumulative stress and how adaptive or maladaptive patterns may emerge.
