PostDoc at the Aesthetics & Learning Lab exploring the relationship between art and emotions. Passionate about the intersection of psychology and aesthetics, investigating how we experience, interpret, and connect with art.
✨ PhDefended! ✨ I’ve finished my PhD “Feeling Art”, which explores how emotions, sensations, movements, and conversations shape art experiences (🔗 doi.org/10.33612/dis...). Huge thanks to all who supported me and excited to continue as a postdoc at the @allab-iwm.bsky.social of @iwmtue.bsky.social 💫

Last week I have defended my PhD in the beautiful Aula of the @rug.nl with a thesis entitled "Mapping the Sequence Landscape of an Artificial Enzyme". Such a huge diploma is proportionate to the immensely beautiful experience behind a PhD in the @roelfesgroup.bsky.social. Thank you very much to all!

Emotions are more than just feelings when we engage with art! 🟠🔵🟣🟢🔴 Our new paper reveals they are integral sense-making strategies, shaping how we perceive, imagine, conceptualize, and analyze during art experiences and conversations.
