Senior Lecturer in Psychology, University of Essex
I lead the “Threat Lab”, a laboratory dedicated to the study of how people perceive negative valence information, how they interpret both physical (i.e. sensory) and psychological (i.e. symbolic) events as threatening. Some keywords of our projects are therefore "threat", "pain", "anxiety", "emotion", "attention". I am an expert in psychophysics and electroencephalography. My past research mostly concerned the study of nociceptive representation in the brain and the experience of pain. This is still an important current research line (Valentini et al., NeuroImage 2022) and is compounded by research into social and cognitive factors affecting chronic pain patients (Valentini et al. European Journal of Pain 2020). An important part of my work as researcher is also oriented towards contributing to a better understanding of cognitive/emotional mechanisms of people's relationship with the emerging awareness of the climate and ecological emergency.

PhD Candidate, Department of Earth Sciences, UCL
Elias is a PhD student in the Department of Earth Sciences at UCL. His PhD project is titled: Understanding Earth’s carbon cycle through the Proterozoic. The project will aim to address questions such as: 1) What were the dominant geological and/or biological drivers for the major carbon isotope excursions during the Proterozoic?
2) Did environmental factors, such as oxygen levels, hinder the emergence and diversification of complex life?; and 3) Was the Mesoproterozoic a time of carbon isotope stability and thus Earth system stasis? This research will result in a seawater carbon isotope curve for the Proterozoic that can be used for constraining ages for sedimentary successions that lack radiometric dating capabilities and/or age diagnostic fossils.

Living beings come to this world equipped with unlearned capacities to interact with the environment. For instance, chicks do not need any training to preferentially approach animate objects, orient in space and recognize familiar individuals. Other predispositions include specialized mechanisms for learning that are used in filial imprinting and language. My research is focused on the evolution of the fundamental building blocks of behaviour and cognition, predisposed behaviours and specialized learning mechanisms. My analyses span from behavioural to genomic data. Precocial species (e.g. chicks of the domestic fowl, tortoises) and insects are valuable models to conduct these studies.

Another stream is interested in the manner by which artificial intelligence (AI) shapes organizations and society, focusing specifically on the socio-technical imaginaries of AI.
