Phd in PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIAL NEUROSCIENCE

My research line is aimed at understanding the psychological processes that underlie socially unequal contexts through an intersectional approach, with the aim of identifying ways to promote more inclusive societies. This framework, incorporating theoretical perspectives from both developmental psychology and social psychology.

My activities during the PhD program will be to deepen in the literature of my research line, as well as to strengthen my knowledge and skills in statistical methods that will allow me to analyse the data associated with my project using software such as SPSS, R Studio and MPlus. Additionally, I look forward to actively contributing to 7the research projects within the ‘Laboratory of Personality and Individual Differences’ through data collection, data analysis, literature review, and writing articles, all of which will enrich my academic experience. In addition, I seek to socialize and strengthen ties with colleagues from the same or other disciplines through participation in seminars and international conferences to discuss the subject matter. Finally, I seek to strengthen my teaching skills by working with my supervisor as a teaching assistant and tutoring undergraduate students.
