Tobia Spampatti is a visiting postdoctoral researcher at New York University, funded by the Mobility Postdoc grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation. He received his PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Geneva, and his Master of Science in Social Cognition from University College, London. Tobia studies the cognitive, social and affective psychological factors that influence how people process information and disinformation, and how they subsequently shape beliefs, emotions, and decisions. At the Social Identity and Morality Lab, he focused on how online climate (dis)information affect climate-relevant psychological and behavioral outcomes, which psychological factors explain their online spread, and how this knowledge can improve interventions against disinformation_.
