I completed my undergraduate studies at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece (BSc in Psychology) and my masters at Leiden University in the Netherlands (夜色直播app MSc in Developmental Psychology). Following this, I completed my PhD with Cum Laude distinction at the VU University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
My PhD project, titled “Setting the Foundations for Math Achievement: Working memory, Nonsymbolic and Symbolic Numerosity Processing”, focused on the cognitive underpinnings of children’s mathematical skills.
After my PhD, I took up a one-year joint postdoctoral position with the VU University of Amsterdam and the KU Leuven (Belgium). I joined the MEC as a Lecturer in Mathematical Cognition at the end of 2015.
