Introduction
I am passionate about scientific research on misinformation, particularly in the context of post-event misinformation (PME). My interests also include psychometrics and data analysis, where I explore methods for measuring cognitive and psychological processes. I am fascinated by how misinformation shapes memory and decision-making, and I seek to apply data-driven approaches to better understand and counteract its effects.
