Hello, I’m Clara. 👋

I am a doctoral candidate in Cognitive Science at the University of Trento and in Experimental Medicine at the University of Tübingen, where I work at the MEG Center.

My research explores the brain’s ability to generate novel and useful ideas for upcoming tasks (i.e. Creative Problem-Solving (CPS)) within the semantic cognition framework, across the lifespan, in both health and disease. I use neuroimaging, computational cognitive modeling, and machine learning approaches, including Large Language Models (LLMs).
