I am currently a postdoctoral research associate at the NEST Lab at University of Southern California. My research is focused on how we can use neuroscience to better understand complex, mixed, and uncertain feelings, and the ways we make meaning out of them.
These inherently hard to to describe experiences are important to many real-world issues, and my work aims to understand the developmental processes that facilitate these feelings, as well as their relevance for mental health and well-being.
