Research
My research explores the mechanisms that drive polarization and social divisions, as well as strategies to mitigate them. Drawing on insights from psychology and behavioural science, I aim to develop interventions that promote constructive political engagement. For example, my dissertation examined the role of empathy in shaping attitudes and behaviours, particularly in the context of affective polarization and climate change.
