Personal profile
Research interests
My research focuses on the different learning processes in anxiety-related psychopathology in humans. I am particularly interested in the acquisition and generalization of fear and avoidance to novel cues or situations, the reduction of pathological fear and avoidance, and the role of predisposing risk factors in the generalization and reduction of fear and avoidance.
