About me
- I completed my PhD at Karolinska Institutet in 2017 within the Otto-Hahn
Research Group on Associative Memory of the Max Planck Institute for Human
Development in Berlin and the Aging Research Center at Karolinska Institutet.
In 2018 I joined the Emotion Lab at Karolinska Institutet as part of my
Swedish Research Council funded international postdoc project “Memory
neuromodulation: How emotional contexts modulate neural item representations
in healthy individuals and individuals with emotional disorders”.
Research
- My primary research interest lies in the neural basis of episodic memory
formation. I have a strong interest in how we encode associations and
specifically, how memory processes are modulated by emotions. To identify
brain factors and activity patterns that relate to memory formation, I am
applying behavioral and neuroimaging measures specifically in MTL
substructures, amygdala, and frontal regions.
