Before joining ICREA in 2010, I was an Associate Professor (tenured) at the University of California Riverside (UCR), and an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) at the University of Michigan (UofM). At UCR I founded and directed the Multicultural Identity Research Laboratory.
After obtaining a PhD in Psychology from the University of California Davis (UCD), I was a funded Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UC Berkeley (UCB).
I am an appointed Fellow of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (+7000 members), Associate Editor for the "Journal of Personality and Social Psychology" (ranked #1 in this discipline), and Editorial Board Member for several psychology journals.
My research has been funded by government and private grants from the US, Catalonia, the EU, and intramural funds from the UofM, UC, and UPF.
