PhD Candidante in Organizational Psychology, Lund University Happiness and personality through the lens of language. How are you? You probably ask this question many times a day, and most of the times, the answers are not through numbers, but through words. Using modern Language AI techniques, such as Large Language Models (LLM; the type of models behind chatbots such as ChatGPT) and Topic modelling, I research how the Language we use can help us understand happiness and personality. Specific happiness related subjects I research include everyday activities, alcohol consumption, and happiness definitions. For personality, I have worked with the Assessment of implicit motives through LLMs and the personality assessments of LLMs on social media. I did graduate school at Lund University, was a predoc at the University of Pennsylvania, and I am doing my PhD at Oslo Metropolitan University. I do several research projects with The World Well-Being Project, allocated at Stony Brook University, University of Pennsylvania, and Stanford University.
