Research

I am interested in eating behavior and emotions (primarily in everyday life).  My dissertation revolved around nomothetic (experimental and naturalistic paradigms) and idiographic (N-of-1 analyses and Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions; JITAIs) approaches of emotional eating research across the eating disorder spectrum. My research still focuses on emotions and other potential moderating factors of eating behavior in healthy, obese, and individuals with eating disorders. I employ smartphone-based assessment and intervention methods (EMA/ESM/AA, EMI, JITAI), experimental designs (emotion induction, picture rating tasks), psychophysiological measures (EMG, EOG, ECG), and clinical diagnostic interviews (SCID, EDE, 'Kinder-DIPS').
Lately I am interested in continuous time modeling of food craving, emotions, and stress.
