Rossel­la grad­u­at­ed at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Pad­ua in 2013 with a Mas­ter Degree in Neu­ro­science and Neu­ropsy­cho­log­i­cal Reha­bil­i­ta­tion. She is cur­rent­ly attend­ing a 3‑year PhD pro­gram in Psy­chol­o­gy at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Pad­ua and she joined the O’Brain Lab in Sep­tem­ber 2017 as guest researcher. Her project’s aim is to inves­ti­gate the neur­al cor­re­lates of impul­siv­i­ty in binge eat­ing. In order to achieve this goal, she uses behav­iour­al par­a­digms as well as func­tion­al and struc­tur­al Mag­net­ic Res­o­nance Imag­ing (MRI).
