I am a postdoc in Psychology at the Research Platform: The Stress of Life (SOLE) – Processes and Mechanisms underlying Everyday Life Stress at University of Vienna. My research topics include everyday life stress, mindfulness, self-compassion, and touch interventions.

I study if and how contemplative interventions like self-touch, guided writing exercises, or meditations, can help people cope with difficult emotions and other challenges.

I use a combination of lab experiments on stress and pain and real-life studies employing ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and ecological momentary intervention (EMI), often combining self-report measures of well-being with biomarkers such as salivary cortisol, heart rate variability (HRV), or heart rate.
