Giuseppina Spano is a psychologist by training with a Ph.D. in Psychometrics. Her Ph.D research included the evaluation of cognitive functioning in ageing.

Furthermore, she gained statistical expertise on a number of modelling approaches such as Structural Equation Modelling techniques.
As a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Studies at the University of Bari Aldo Moro (Italy) she is currently involved in national and international research projects.
