Andrea Piovesan

I am an Italian psychologist based in the UK since 2014. I completed my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Psychology at the University of Padova (Italy) in 2012 and 2014, respectively, before earning a PhD in Psychology from Liverpool John Moores University in 2019. Following my doctorate, I held a range of teaching and research positions at Liverpool John Moores University, Edge Hill University, and IUAV University of Venice. Currently, I am a Lecturer in Psychology at Edge Hill University.

My research focuses on human perception, including time, pain, vision, and typeface perception. I often combine behavioural tasks with physiological recordings such as electrocardiography (ECG), electrodermal activity (EDA), and electroencephalography (EEG) to uncover how these processes unfold.
I am also the creator of Tipo (https://tipotype.co.uk/), a research-driven platform that explores how people perceive typefaces in terms of elegance, professionalism, and other qualities.
