About me
My research focuses on aesthetics, moral psychology, philosophy of cognitive science (including AI) & mind.​
I have done research on implicit bias (such as implicit prejudices and stereotypes), emotions, moral psychology, aesthetic experiences, and various interactions between these topics (such as bias in art).
Currently, I work on emotional AI, including emotion recognition technologies and empathetic chatbots, as a YUFE/MSCA-funded postdoctoral researcher at Maastricht University. I also coordinate the Philosophy and Ethics of AI program at the University of Antwerp.
​
In 2018, I completed my doctoral studies in philosophy at UGent and UAntwerp, at Bence Nanay's Research Group (Centre for Philosophical Psychology). My doctoral work is on emotion and mental content.
​
In October 2019, I started doing interdisciplinary research on implicit bias and implicit racism, at UAntwerp and KULeuven. I received a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the FWO (Flemish Research Foundation).
I took a break from this project during the academic year of 2020-2021, because I received the British Society of Aesthetics Postdoctoral Award. I did research on fiction, emotion and implicit attitudes at Birkbeck College (University of London).
​
I was a postdoctoral researcher at Thumos, which is part of the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences, at the University of Geneva (2018-2019). I received a Postdoctoral Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship to do research on emotion and implicit bias.
​
In 2023-2024, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Barcelona Institute of Analytic Philosophy, and Logos at the University of Barcelona.
