I am a quantitative researcher with a Ph.D. in Social Psychology. My main research interests are subtle social influence processes, social perception, and the formation of preferences. More specifically, I am interested in how the perception of nonverbal cues can influence preferences and attitudes such as in gaze-induced liking, where the perception of a person's gaze directed toward a stimulus increases the perceiver's liking of that stimulus.
My education and training are mainly centered on research methodology and the field of social psychology, but have also provided me with many opportunities to acquire knowledge in other research areas (e.g., endocrinology, philosophy, creativity, etc.). I am currently looking for a job.
