General Information
Géraldine Coppin is an Associate Professor in Psychology at UniDistance Suisse.
Géraldine Coppin did her PhD at the University of Geneva, in the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences. She investigated the flexibility of olfactory preferences.
She was then a postdoc at Yale University (USA) and at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research (Cologne, Germany) from 2012 to 2015. She investigated the flexibility of flavor preferences, bringing together the fields of olfaction and gustation.
In 2015, she was appointed Senior Researcher and Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Geneva. In 2018, she became Professor at UniDistance Suisse and is an associate member of the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences.
She studies the psychology and neurosciences of chemosensory perception (i.e., olfactory and flavor perception) and food intake. More specifically, she is working on behavioral and neural correlates of food preferences and choices. She is investigating them in healthy individuals as well as in clinical populations, e.g., in individuals with overweight and obesity, and patients with olfactory and/or gustatory disorders (in collaboration with Dr. Basile Landis).
