Lina Koppel serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV) at Linköping University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. She is affiliated with the Center for Social and Affective Neuroscience (CSAN) and actively contributes to multiple research groups including the Morrison Lab (Embodied Brain Lab), the Olausson Lab, and the JEDI-lab focused on economic decision-making.
Her research integrates behavioral economics, social neuroscience, and affective neuroscience to explore economic decision processes, pain/touch perception, science communication dynamics, and research ethics. She investigates how emotional aspects of somatosensation influence behavior and examines cross-cultural trust in scientists through large-scale international surveys, particularly focusing on climate change attitudes and scientific norm adherence.
Koppel's recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a strong emphasis on global collaborative research, with multi-country studies spanning 63-68 nations. Her work reveals critical patterns in climate behavior interventions, scientific norm violations, and trust erosion in scientific institutions, while advancing methodological rigor in behavioral economics through comprehension testing in economic games.
She is a core member of the JEDI-lab investigating intuition in economic decisions and collaborates with the Morrison and Olausson Labs on affective touch mechanisms. Her leadership in the International Climate Psychology Collaboration highlights her commitment to large-scale, team-based approaches for addressing complex global challenges through behavioral science.
