About Me

Functions

I have particular interest in resilient communication. Within this field, I focus on how citizens should be alarmed and informed to keep them safe during disasters, on how people’s skills can be improved to detect deception in other people, and how nonverbal mimicry can foster emotional understanding and social behaviour.
