Bio

Marcos Pietro holds a degree in Psychology from the Universitá degli Studi di Padova and a PhD in Psychology from the National University of Córdoba. Currently, he is a Postdoctoral Fellow under the supervision of Dr. Sebastián Lipina and Dr. Juan Kamienkowski. His research focuses on the study of the development of children at the cognitive level and neural activity through electroencephalography. His work focuses on identifying the particular characteristics of this development in contexts of poverty and proposing effective intervention strategies to minimize the impact of poverty on this process.
