Silvia has a background in Psychology and Developmental Neuroscience. She obtained her Undergraduate and Master degrees at UCL, in London, and completed a one-year placement at Dr. Scheinost's Lab at Yale University, where she developed an interest in computational neuroscience. Her work focuses on resting state functional connectivity in mouse models of neurodevelopmental disorders and their translational relevance for human populations.
