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. We conducted several studies in a variety of situations, ranging from interpersonal conflicts in romantic couples to intergroup conflicts in Israel. In particular, I focused on how compassion training can help reduce tension in conflict and enhance social connectedness.
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Geneva and teach at the Geneva School of Social Sciences.
