She got her PhD in Bioengineering at Politecnico di Milano in 2011. Then, she carried out research at Politecnico, on neuroengineering, neurorobotics and rehabilitation in motor learning. In 2017, she moved to Dept. of Brain and Behavioral Sciences at University of Pavia, coordinating the Neurocomputation unit. From 2023, she is Associate Professor.
Within the EU Human Brain Project and now EBRAINS, she works in developing and applying computational multi-scale neural models, with the main focus on the cerebellar circuit, to implicitly generate high-level functions from elementary neural features and microcircuit mechanisms, in physiological and pathological states. She is currently PI of a PRIN project titled Cerebellar neruromodulation in ataxia, and she has some scientific responsibilities within different PNRR projects: MNESYS, CN1 (In Silico Medicine), and Fit4MedRob. She teaches Brain Modeling at Artificial Intelligence courses and at Psychology, neuroscience and human sciences course. She has more than 45 publications on international peer-reviewed journals.
