PostDOC

Jessica Lucchesi is a postdoctoral researcher at the Biophotonics Group. She holds a PhD in Atomic and Molecular Photonics from LENS, University of Florence. Her research integrates optical devices and in vivo neural imaging, focusing on the development of portable, miniaturized optical systems (Miniscope) for brain-wide monitoring of calcium and hemodynamic signals in freely moving mice. She works across the entire in vivo experimental pipeline, from stereotaxic surgeries and behavioral task design to data analysis. Her research investigates social interaction dynamics through cooperation and competition paradigms to uncover the neuronal mechanisms underlying inter-brain synchrony during naturalistic behavior.
