Research

I'm deeply interested in communication and interpersonal decision-making.

My latest research has focused on understanding how verbal and non-verbal cues shape social perception of social situations, personal traits, and affective inferences and on how this information influences decision-making and well-being in healthy and clinical populations.

A partial list of my work is available in this link and more information is available in my Research Gate profile.

Science Communication

I think that communicating science can foster the curiosity of the scientists of tomorrow and allows creating a bridge between science and culture

Examples of the way I have involved in science communication include the book "The intriguing box of psychological marvels" (only available in Spanish) and describing some of the latest cognitive science findings in lay terms (as part of the digital editors team of the Psychonomic Society)

Science and Society

As much as I love research and science by its own sake, I'm also convinced that establishing collaborations with practitioners and policymakers can bring great benefits to society.

I'm currently focusing full-time in helping to create positive benefits to society by supporting the application of scientific findings in applied contexts (see more information in my Linkedin profile).

Previously, I have also involved in initiatives intending to leverage science to support and inform public policies. Examples include leading the organization of a public forum on health literacy and misinformation (more information available in the Science and Policy Exchange webpage), and the analysis of 15 years of academic achievement at the national and state level (only available in Spanish).
