I am a social and behavioral scientist with a clinical background, and main research interests in the fields of developmental psychology, adolescent development, and family relationships. I have obtained degrees in Psychology (BSc) and Clinical Psychology (MSc), as well as a PhD (2015) from the University of Athens, Greece. I also have a second PhD (2020) from Utrecht University, the Netherlands. Since February 2020, I work as a postdoctoral researcher investigating the possible epigenetic mechanisms involved in adolescent autonomy and identity development.
