Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Oxford I work on behaviour change interventions that help people reduce their meat intake, both online and in the real world. I am interested in emotional processing of meat and other underlying mechanisms of how and why certain interventions work. I completed an undergraduate degree in Biology at Humboldt University in Berlin, and a Master’s degree in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security at Newcastle University. During my PhD in Psychology (University of Exeter), I investigated the role of disgust in meat avoidance.
