Eva graduated in Psychology at University of Parma (Italy) and then joined the lab in 2015 to start a PhD on morphological masked priming. Eva studied language learning in adulthood, with a particular interest in how the recognition of single printed words is influenced by the way these words were originally learned, either in the sujbect's first and second language.

She left the lab to take up a Research Fellowship at UCL, to work with Liz Wonnacott and Micheal Ramscar.
