Research Statement

My primary research revolves around examining emotion regulation strategies within different eating disorders. With a foundation in neurobiology,  my keen interest is dedicated to unraveling the physiological and neural underpinnings that shape human behavior and mental disorders. Consequently, I employ fMRI and eye tracking to address my research questions.
