María Álvarez Voces

Visiting Graduate Student

I'm currently a Ph.D. student in the UNDERISK group at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. My scientific interest is focused on the study of the manifestations, profiles and trajectories of conduct problems in girls, in order to understand the peculiarities that may affect their prevention, identification and intervention. I chose this topic because it has often been ignored in previous literature, as the prevalence of conduct problems is higher in boys. In the fall of 2024, I will be conducting a research stay at the EDEN Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. I’m sure I will learn a lot in this lab with such amazing people and interesting studies!
