GENERAL INFORMATION
I studied affective and clinical psychology at the University of Geneva, where I completed a PhD in psychology under the supervision of Dr. Olga Klimecki, Prof. Dr. David Sander, and Prof. Dr. Eran Halperin.
During my PhD, I worked on how emotion regulation interventions can promote conflict resolution in different kinds of conflicts. In particular, I focused on how compassion training can help reduce tension in conflict and enhance social connectedness. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Geneva and the University of Montreal, I worked on the relationships between self-compassion, well-being and social relationships in school children.
I am currently a scientific collaborator at the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences working on different knowledge transfer projects aiming to better understand emotions to enhance social cohesion and well-being.
