Iliana Samara, PhD
Postdoc
After I obtained my BSc in Psychology from the University of Crete (2014), I moved to Leiden, the Netherlands, where I obtained my MSc in Applied Cognitive Psychology (2015), and research MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience (cum laude; 2017).
I am a researcher and lecturer at Leiden University, specializing in cognitive psychology and statistical methodology. Together with Mariska Kret, I received an NWO Wetenschapscommunicatie grant to set up a citizen science project that explores questions adolescents have about sexuality, relationships, and flirting.
I also coordinate the Psychology Lab on Wheels, an initiative designed to make psychological research accessible to the broader community. Through these projects, I aim to engage the public in scientific research and promote a deeper understanding of psychology.
