Academic, Scientific, and Public Outreach Activities.
I lead a variety of initiatives, mentor students, and bridge science with the wider community.

I am a faculty at the IES Abroad Vienna, where I teach a course "Abnormal Psychology: Social Cognition and Clinical Disorders." This course explores social cognition, focusing on how individuals perceive, interpret, and interact with others, both in healthy and impaired states. The course includes hands-on learning with tools to measure social cognition, neuroimaging research, and practical skills in methodology, writing, and presentations. The aim is to enhance students' understanding of social behavior and prepare them to contribute to research on this topic. Morover, I supervise students at various levels, including undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students, guiding them in research related to self-other distinction and related psychological phenomena.
I present at national and international conferences on topics such as self-other distinction in clinical disorders, big team science, and environmental empathy. I actively organize and contribute to workshops, including the "From Self-Knowledge to Knowing Others" workshop, and serve on the conference programming committees of Big Team Science and The Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science.
In addition to my academic work, I had a long-standing leadership role in public outreach as the Vice-President and Co-organizer of Pint of Science (Austria), where I foster engagement between the scientific community and the public.
