She has an increasing teaching experience in undergraduate and postgraduate programs, mainly in Forensic Clinical Psychology, and more than 20 years of clinical practice, including work with youth placed in juvenile detention facilities. Her research focuses on antisocial behavior and psychopathic traits in youth and adults from an evolutionary perspective, and on the development and evaluation of intervention programs for these populations. Her agenda seeks to transform the way detention is understood and used, framing it as a unique opportunity to provide trauma-informed, compassion-based interventions essential for rehabilitation and reintegration of detained populations. She has (co)authored numerous papers in international journals, books, and book chapters, and serves as Principal Investigator on multiple R&D projects, as well as consultant in international consortia. She has also collaborated as a researcher in inter/national projects and received awards and distinctions for her work. She (co)supervises PhD and master’s students inter/nationally, has delivered over 100 presentations at international scientific meetings (including more than 25 invited talks), and is a reviewer for several peer-reviewed journals. She is also the author of the PSYCHOPATHY.COMP program, an individual and structured intervention handbook for the rehabilitation of people with antisocial behavior and psychopathic traits, currently under international knowledge transfer.
