About

My research focuses on cognition and social interaction in the virtual/online realm. More concretely, I investigate how the self/other relation is shaped by the increasing allocation of sociality to online environments. I work as a PhD student in the INTERSELF project (Prof. Miriam Kyselo), which explores embodied selfhood and intersubjectivity.
