Fitxa persona

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Personality, Evaluation, and Psychological Treatments at the University of Valencia, and I am also affiliated with the Polibienestar Institute. I have been a member of the research group I-PSI-TEC (www.ipsitec.com // @ipsitec) since 2012. Additionally, I am a researcher in the CIBEROBN group “Pathophysiology of Obesity and Nutrition” (CB06/03/0052), an initiative of the Carlos III Health Institute.

My academic background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, awarded with the Extraordinary Prize in 2010, followed by a Master’s in Advances in Research and Treatments in Psychopathology and Health, as well as a Master’s in General Psychology, all completed at the University of Valencia. In 2012, I obtained a predoctoral FPI contract to carry out my doctoral thesis under the supervision of Prof. Rosa M. Baños at the University of Valencia. During my fellowship, I was awarded a research stay of three months at Boston University. In July 2018, I obtained my PhD with the distinction of Excellent Cum Laude and an International Mention.

My research lines are framed within experimental psychopathology, focusing on the study of emotional and cognitive processes in psychological disorders; the development of clinical and health psychology interventions supported by Information and Communication Technologies; and the identification of protective variables in psychopathology, as well as the promotion of the well-being dimension in mental health.

I have participated in various national, European, and regional projects as a team member or researcher. Currently, I am co-Principal Investigator with Dr. Baños on a national project funded under the 2024 call of the R&D&I Plan, focused on promoting positive body image in women across different life stages.
