Research
I am a social psychologist and in very broad terms I am interested in how we navigate negative* interpersonal dynamics. More specifically, some of my research focuses on social exclusion and some on social biases.
In my current position as a postdoctoral researcher at UvA I’m working on how interpersonal dynamics shape (un)ethical behaviors in organizations.
