A little introduction ...
​

Hello there, visitor! ☻​
​
My name's Irene Sant'Ambrogio.
​
​I'm an Italian researcher who owns a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Psychology and a Master's of Research (MRes) in Animal Behaviour. I'm currently based in Trento, Italy.
​
The hometown where I come from is Reggio Calabria, situated on the Southern far end of the peninsula and surrounded by the Mediterranean sea. My love for nature has been shaped by the environment within where I grew up, which offers many possibilities to explore different kinds of wild landscapes filled with a rich and various fauna. 

Love for Research,
​Research for Love.

The interactions between animals, humans and environment always attracted me and, when I was a child, I came across Charles Darwin's expedition diaries and Konrad Lorenz's ethology studies. The way they pictured the harmony between environment and organisms, explaining how the first shapes the second in countless ways and vice versa, made me decide to follow their steps. I've chosen Psychology as a starting point because I believe it's one of the most exciting and eclectic fields of study that lays the foundations of many disciplines, including Ethology, the research area I've decided to be specialised in. Through the observation of Animal Behaviour, we take small inching steps that lead to a clearer picture of our evolutionary processes and the dynamics that originate our consciousness.
