Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, Auckland University of Technology I am an Associate Professor at Auckland University of Technology (AUT - Department of Psychology and Neuroscience) and the Associate Head of Research at the AUT School of Clinical Sciences. My research interest is developing and validating new technologies for quantifying human brain networks using brain imaging methods, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), complex network science and dynamical systems theory. These approaches have significantly contributed to our ability to model brain dysfunction in people with epilepsy and traumatic brain injury. I currently hold the HRC Emerging Researcher Grant. I am the AI lead of the $30 million Australian Epilepsy Project and a core member of the AUT Traumatic Brain Injury Network and the AUT BioDesign Lab. I received the AUT Excellence Award Emerging Researcher in 2021; the University of Melbourne early-career fellowship in 2018; the American Epilepsy Society Young Investigator Award in 2017; and the John Milne Neuroscience Award for best departmental PhD thesis at The University of Melbourne in 2016. I have presented my work at multiple international conferences and have been invited to present my work at universities in Asia, Europe, and the US.

PhD candidate of Psychology, Stockholm University I am a licensed clinical psychologist, licensed child psychotherapist (Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare), and PhD candidate within a project that is lead by prof. Pehr Granqvist and postdoc Tommie Forslund. My research mainly regards contextual risk factors among mothers with intellectual disability or ADHD, in relation to various parenting capacities (e.g., parental mentalizing, interpretation of children's emotional signals), and child socioemotional development (attachment). I also teach attachment theory, mentalization theory, and developmental psychopathology on various courses on the clinical psychology/psychotherapy programs, as well as on the master program in psychology. Beyond the field of attachment research, I also have a strong interest in developmental psychology more generally. My main interests concern the developmental roots of intersubjectivity and social learning, as well as developmentally informed clinical interventions for children and their families. I am a member of an international group of researchers and clinicians who work with Parental Embodied Mentalizing (a method for assessing automatic mentalizing in parents of infants), as well as of the International Relations Committe of APA Division 39 Society for Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I am also engaged in questions relating to child welfare, and applications of developmental theory in a wider societal context.
