I am a neuroscience researcher and an open science practitioner. I am currently the Project Collaboration Specialist in the Research Department at the Child Mind Institute, where I manage open science and open data projects and collaborations. I was previously a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Psychology at New York University, where I used behavioral and neuroimaging techniques to investigate how language and music are processed by the human brain. I earned my B.A. and M.A. in Linguistics from the University of Pavia (Italy), my M.Sc. in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Trento (Italy), and my Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Birmingham (UK). I am fascinated by interdisciplinary environments, where science intersects with art, storytelling, and society.

The Third Space at the SRC aims to explore formats, goals, advantages, and barriers in the partnership between scientists and artists. We employ quantitative and qualitative methods and an open science approach to evaluate current SciArt collaborations and to strengthen SciArt practices. We facilitate collaborations and interactions between scientists and artists through initiatives and events.

When I am not doing research or science outreach, I enjoy growing huge monsteras, biking around NYC, and exploring new cafes. Email Contact: azuanazzi[at]saicollective.org
