Research Focus
  • When/how/why temporal emotion (i.e., subjective experience, expression, physiology) dynamics impact socioemotional processes and relational wellbeing, as well as the potential bidirectional nature 
  • Utilizing advanced quantitative methods from both a Frequentist and Bayesian perspective
  • Modeling nonstationarity and nonlinearity in within-person emotion response system coherence/concordance and between-person linkage/coordination across time
  • Contributing to open science and replicability 
Current Projects

Response system coherence in emotion: Its nature and implications for wellbeing. Funded by the National Science Foundation.

Targeting interpersonal emotion dynamics as a mechanism for increasing wellbeing in romantic couples. Funded by the Israel-US Binational Science Foundation.
