My work focuses on social cognition, self-other distinction, and the dynamics of stress and mood in
both everyday life and challenging contexts, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. I am deeply committed to
big team science, actively participating in large-scale, multinational collaborations that tackle
topics like climate psychology, moral judgment, and the replicability of psychological research.
By combining insights into individual psychological processes with collaborative scientific efforts,
I strive to advance interdisciplinary approaches and global perspectives to deepen our understanding of
human behavior.
