Research Interest

My research is focused on multifaceted topics at the interface between clinical, experimental, social, and biological psychology. Especially, I am interested in: Social cognitive processes in person and face perception (e.g., in social anxiety disorder), learning and extinction of fear and anxiety (e.g., anticipation of threatening and stressful events), body perception (e.g., neural correlates of body image and body dissatisfaction), and motivated attention (e.g., impact of emotion and motivation on attention).
