Personal profile
Research interests
Drawing from developmental psychopathology and biopsychosocial theoretical frameworks, Noa’s research explores the interplay between biological and environmental factors in shaping children’s development over time, with a focus on early childhood (0-3 years). She is particularly interested in the role of the caregiving environment in early development, including aspects such as parental psychopathology, parenting behaviors, parental self-regulatory abilities and parental media use practices. The overarching goal of her research program is to identify pathways to resilience, and the ability to thrive in the face of early life stress and adversity.
