Main Focus
My research interests revolve around quantitative psychology
and emotion research. I have a particular interest in the use of machine
learning in the context of psychological questions. For my bachelor's thesis, I
explored the creation and evaluation of emotion films with children aged 8 to
11 years. During my master's studies, I developed an automatic emotion
recognition system named AFFECT. In creating AFFECT, I utilized various
international data sets with different ethnicities to train a multilayer neural
network. Currently, my research focus is on the further development and testing
of AFFECT and the exploration of the dimensionality of emotional representations.
