"The detailedness of human interaction and the relevance of these details never ceases to amaze me. Especially in interactions that matter. "

In my research, I challenge myself by doing complex research in a solid way, and by always striving to learn something new. I focus on how interactions are structured, and I like to share that knowledge. It is important to me to do research that is both theoretically and societally relevant.
