Biography

I am working as a post-doctoral researcher investigating nonverbal synchrony of body postures and movements between participants in couple therapy. I work on the Relational Mind couple therapy data set, which has been collected at the University of Jyväskylä at the department of Psychology. 

I am affiliated with the Department of Philosophy and working as a part of the research team "Experiential Demarcation: Multidisciplinary Inquiries into the Affective Foundations of Interaction", in which different research perspectives (philosophy, arts, psychology) have been used to study demarcation during interaction. 

My biggest intrest lies in understanding nonverbal behavior during interaction, and how we nonverbally relate to each other, and thus influence the experience of being in the interaction.
