Expertise
I hold a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Groningen, funded by the Chilean National Agency for Research and Development (ANID). My research lies at the intersection of Embodied Cognition, Interpersonal Synchronization, and Individual Differences in social interaction. In particular, I examine how psychological constructs—such as personality—manifest through embodied and dynamic patterns at both intra- and interpersonal levels, using a Complex Systems framework. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Psychology, with a clinical specialization, from the University of Talca, Chile, graduating with honors at the top of my cohort. Subsequently, I trained and worked as a psychotherapist with a focus on trauma-informed approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I later pursued a Research Master’s (MSc) in Behavior and Cognition at the University of Barcelona, also supported by ANID. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at Heidelberg University Hospital, where I study mother-infant interactions and the emergence of social behavior; and continue to collaborate with colleagues at the University of Groningen.
