Research groups

Centre for Cultural Evolution

The Centre for Cultural Evolution conducts interdisciplinary research on the causal relationships that shape and change human culture in both the long and the short term.

Division for Sleep and Alertness Research

The research area is focused on sleep and recovery associated with stress. The main idea is that stress/load gives long-term effects only when recovery is disturbed.

About me

I am interested in the social effects of sleep loss, and how these relate to motivation, attention, and cognitive ability. I also study how this affects our daily interactions and wellbeing, for example in families and workplaces.

Additionally, I have an interest in the social perception of sickness - how other people perceive someone who is sick, and what about a person indicates their health status.

 


After receiving my PhD from Stockholm University in 2015, focusing on social perceptions of sleep loss (Thesis: The Face of Sleep Loss), I started a postdoc at Karolinska Institutet to study social interactions during sleep deprivation. In 2016, I received an International Postdoc Grant from the Swedish Research Council (VR) to work with Dr. Tessa West at New York University. During this postdoc visit, I focused on physiological measures such as heart rate variability and sympathetic nervous system acitivty in addition to behavioural and dyadic tasks following sleep loss.

Since 2019, I am employed as an Assistant Professor at Stockholm University. In my current research I integrate lab-based experimental studies with field-based research, to answer various questions regarding sleep, social interactions, and wellbeing.
