Emeritus Professor of Town and Regional Planning, University of Sheffield I am Emeritus Professor of Town & Regional Planning and the former Senior Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University when, for a nine year term, I was responsible for academic planning, HR and capital projects, a position to which I was appointed after serving as Head of TRP. Over the last three decades I have had a large research programme on the supply side of the private rented housing sector and the use of the planning obligations to secure affordable housing. My work has received research grants of over £3m and I have over 150 publications including books, research reports, journal articles and other output. My latest book, co-authored with Professor Peter Kemp, ‘Private Rented Housing: Comparative Perspectives’, was published in 2014. My current research covers two areas: first, monitoring and evaluating government initiatives to create more corporate landlords and attract more institutional funding to the private rented housing sector and second, the use of planning obligations to secure infrastructure for new developmens including land and private finance for new affordable housing.

Personal docente investigador. Líder del proyecto STap2Go: plataforma de cribado e intervención de atención y funciones ejecutivas, Universidad Nebrija Doctora Cum Laude en Psicología por la UCM (2020), Máster en Neuropsicología Infantil (2010-2012 UCM) y Ldo. Psicopedagogía (2010, UCM). Actualmente, dirijo el máster de Cognición y Emoción en Contextos Educativos en la Universidad de Nebrija. Además, pertenezco a los grupos de investigación CINC (Centro de investigación Nebrija en Cognición) y CEDI (Cognición, Educación y Diferencias Individuales) de la misma Universidad. Imparto docencia en el máster que dirijo, así como en los grados de Infantil y Primaria. Poseo experiencia anterior como personal docente-investigador en el Centro Universitario Cardenal Cisneros (programa bilingüe), profesora asociada en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, y docente en Master de Neuropsicología en la Universidad Operta de Catalunya entre otros. A su vez, cuento con amplia experiencia en intervención neuropsicológica y coordinación del departamento de Neuropsicología Infantil en el Centro Comunica (Majadahonda, Madrid). Durante más de 8 años, trabajé con niños y adolescentes con dificultades de aprendizaje como dislexia, Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad (TDAH), dificultades en habilidades sociales etc. Mi investigación está orientada especialmente a la evaluación y entrenamiento cognitivo de la atención y de las funciones ejecutivas en población escolar, entre los que destacan publicaciones como: (1) Rossignoli-Palomeque, T., Perez-Hernandez, E., & González Marqués, J. (2018). Brain training in children and adolescents: Is it scientifically valid? Frontiers in Psychology, 9, 565. (2) Rossignoli, T, Perez-Hernandez, E., Quiros-Godoy, M., González Marqués, J (2019) Schoolchildren¿s compensatory strategies during an Executive Function App Training.

Actualmente, dirijo dos tesis en esta línea de investigación. Por otro lado, realizo transferencia de investigación desarrollando una plataforma de cribado y entrenamiento de atención y funciones ejecutivas "STap2Go" en colaboración con la empresa GeneticAI, especializada en desarrollo informático de soluciones para la salud. Esta herramienta, combina estrategias metacognitivas con el entrenamiento de procesos básicos: velocidad de procesamiento, atención, inhibición, memoria de trabajo y flexibilidad cognitiva. https://www.stap2go.es/
