My work is concentrated on the psychology of places, investigating how the surrounding environment can shape our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and personality traits. In my research so far, I have used geographical psychology methods to understand how personality traits and emotions cluster geographically. Currently, as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Amsterdam Interdisciplinary Centre for Emotion, I study the contexts in which emotional expressions occur using deep learning models.

I have a broad interest in the responsible and ethical integration of AI systems into mainstream use, with a specific focus on the responsible applications of automatic emotion detection systems.
