Biography

I study how stress makes us sick.

I am a postdoctoral researcher in clinical and health psychology at the University of Vienna. My main research interest is to understand the human stress response. In particular, the interaction, and cross-talk, between the biological systems, and psychological appraisal processes during times of stress.
