Research Statement
My research focuses on negative social interactions, such as toxicity, conflicts, and affective polarization, across interpersonal and organizational levels. I aim to understand how people perceive their surroundings and act and identify the conditions that may or may not lead to unfavorable outcomes. Ultimately, I hope to propose solutions to reduce the impact of these negative interactions.
