Career Details

I have done all my university degrees at 'Babes-Bolyai University' in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. During my PhD training, I had the chance to work with Dr. Tricia Striano in the 'Neurocognition and Development Group' at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. As a postdoctoral fellow I worked first with Dr. Petra Hauf at St. Francis Xavier University (Canada), and then with Dr. Chiara Turati at Milano-Bicocca University (Italy). In November 2012, I joined the Department of Psychology at Lancaster University as a lecturer.
