As a clinical and health psychologist with extensive experience working with older adults, her work bridges academic research and practical applications in gerontology. Dr. von Humboldt's educational background includes: PhD in Psychology from ISPA-Instituto Universitário (2009-2014) Master's in Psychology from ISPA-Instituto Universitário (2004-2006) Her research focuses on critical aspects of aging, particularly sexual well-being, adjustment to aging, mental health, and cross-cultural studies with older populations. Through a multidimensional lens, she examines how older adults navigate physical, psychological, and social challenges associated with aging. Her work often employs qualitative methodologies to capture nuanced experiences of older adults across different cultural contexts, particularly comparing Portuguese, Spanish, Mexican, and Slovenian populations. This cross-cultural approach reveals how societal norms, family values, and healthcare systems influence aging experiences and well-being outcomes. Dr. von Humboldt's scientific contributions have been recognized with several prestigious awards: Investigador de Mérito (Meritus Researcher) at the 10th National Congress of Health Psychology (2014) Best Presentation Award at the 20th European Congress of Psychiatry (EPA) (2012) As an academic mentor, Dr. von Humboldt has guided numerous students and early-career researchers in gerontology and health psychology. Her extensive publication record (over 750 publications) demonstrates significant research productivity and impact. She has secured funding for multiple cross-national studies examining aging experiences across different cultural contexts, with particular emphasis on Portuguese-speaking countries and their European and Latin American counterparts. Her collaborative approach is evident in her work with researchers from diverse institutions globally. At the William James Center for Research, Dr. von Humboldt leads a vibrant research team focused on aging well across multiple dimensions. The team employs mixed-methods approaches to investigate how older adults maintain quality of life, navigate health challenges, and sustain meaningful relationships in later life. Their current projects include examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on older adults' mental health, exploring sexual well-being across cultures, and developing interventions to promote successful aging.
