I am a postdoctoral researcher in the ERC project Engage (https://www.utwente.nl/en/bms/ehealth/engagement/). My research focuses on understanding the role of engagement as a mechanism of impact for Digital Mental Health Interventions (DMHIs). Specifically, I am working towards the development of a personalised and adaptive intervention for depression and anxiety, building upon my colleague's works on engagement conceptualization, measurement, and strategies to influence it.

I have been working at the the University of Twente since May 2020, when I started as a PhD student.  I was part of the Entwine Consortium as a Marie Slodowska Curie ESR and my main research focus was implementation of eHealth to support Informal Care.

Before that, I completed my Master's degree in Universitá Cattolica del Sacro Cuore of Milan, my home town, in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, where I also worked as a research assistant.
