She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Warsaw's Center for Research on Prejudice, where she explored political psychology and intergroup dynamics.

• Doctorate from University of Warsaw
• Principal Investigator for NCN-funded project "The link between linguistic agency and mood"
• Focus on linguistic agency, psychological well-being, and intergroup reconciliation

Her research combines linguistic analysis with psychological theory to examine how language reflects and shapes mood disorders. Using social media data (Twitter, Reddit) and experimental methods, she investigates:

Practical applications include improving suicide risk detection, depression monitoring, and developing psychoeducational tools for mood disorder therapy.
