I explore how emotions and cognition shape the way people evaluate (mis)information and revise their beliefs in evolving digital communication contexts.
I hold a PhD in Social Sciences from the University of Antwerp, Belgium. My research lies at the intersection of emotion, cognition, and communication, with a particular interest in how people respond to misinformation and make sense of complex information.
My work examines how emotions, attention, and message design shape information engagement, comprehension, and judgement, particularly in the contexts of health communication and misinformation correction. I adopt a multi-method approach, combining eye tracking, psychophysiological measures, and dynamic emotion assessment to investigate the underlying cognitive and emotional processes.
More recently, I have expanded my research to include AI-assisted evaluation of digital content. Building on my expertise in misinformation correction and human information processing, I am increasingly interested in how generative AI influences evidence evaluation and human judgement in digital information environments.
