His work bridges experimental psychology with practical applications in behavioral science for health and policy interventions.
Recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on emotion regulation mechanisms, psychophysiological measures (EEG/ERP), and behavioral interventions. Article trends reveal deep exploration of cognitive-affective interactions across diverse contexts including public policy, workplace design, and health interventions.
