I am an assistant professor at Harvard Business School (NOM) and a psychologist by training. My research focuses on understanding emotional processes, particularly when they are experienced in social and political contexts. One line of my work examines emotional dynamics between people, and their contribution to collective behavior. A second line of work focuses on how emotions can be regulated. A third line of work focuses specifically on the interaction between emotional processes and technology.
To examine questions in these three lines of work, I employ a multi-method approach that integrates behavioral experiments, analysis of data from digital media, and computational modeling.
