Dr Vincenzo Pirruccio

I am Dr. Vincenzo Pirruccio, a passionate scholar with a deep-rooted commitment to the pursuit of knowledge. My academic journey commenced with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from "Sapienza" University of Rome. Building on this foundation, I furthered my education by earning a Master's degree in Cognitive Psychology from the same institute. Fueled by an unquenchable thirst for understanding, I embarked on a PhD journey in Psychology and Cognitive Science at "Sapienza" University of Rome in collaboration with the Research Center for Mind, Brain and Behavior in Granada, Spain. Beyond research, I find immense fulfillment in the role of an educator, teaching a diverse range of courses in the MSc Organisational Psychiatry and Psychology (OPP) and fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills in my students.
