Jacopo Turini Volonghi, Ph. D.

I am a former academic researcher specialized in cognitive science and psychology. I hold a PhD from the Goethe University of Frankfurt, where my research delved into the intricate relationship between visual perception, semantic memory, and language comprehension in the human mind.

Currently, I am a research support administrative in the Office for Higher Education of the Italian Institute of Technology. I help organizing and coordinating educational activities for early career researchers, allowing a continuous professional development that could benefit their future path in both academia and industry.

In the past, I've collaborated with Experientia, a Service and Behavioral design consultancy firm based in Torino (IT) and Zürich (CH). Prior to pursuing my PhD at the Scene Grammar Lab under Melissa Võ, I completed a research internship with Daniel Kaiser and Radek Cichy at the Neural Dynamics of Visual Cognition group of the Free University of Berlin; I have obtained my master's degree from the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMeC) of University of Trento, under the supervision of Roberto Bottini and Oliver Collignon. And my bachelor's degree was earned at the Department of Psychology of University of Milano-Bicocca.

I am passionate about science and research, and I am leveraging on my experiences within academia and industry to facilitate other researchers in developing skills that they can use to florish at professional and human level.
