About me

I graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece (2005) which included an Erasmus exchange year in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland (2004-2005). In 2011, I was awarded my PhD from the University of Edinburgh (School of Philosophy, Psychology, and Language Sciences). From 2012 to 2020, I worked in 4 postdoctoral research appointments (University of California, Irvine; Royal Holloway University of London; University College London; University of Oxford), before joining the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Stirling as a Lecturer in the Division of Psychology (06/2020).

Research

In general, my research is in the areas of Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience and Neuropsychology. In particular, my work revolves around the contributions of cortico-cerebellar, cortico-striatal, and cortico-hippocampal circuitry in sensorimotor, cognitive, and emotional/affective aspects of behaviour, from saccadic eye movements and manual control to language processing, episodic memory, and emotion regulation. I primarily use structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging, eye-tracking, transcranial magnetic and direct current stimulation, as well as custom-made behavioural tasks and neuropsychometry with healthy and brain-injured participants.

PhD Supervision: I am happy to supervise PhD studies in the Neuroscience of episodic memory, speech/language, and oculomotor control, using custom-made behavioural tasks, neuropsychological assessment, eye-tracking, TMS/tDCS, and structural/functional MRI.
