Presentation

I have a background in the fields of film, philosophy, and cognitive science. I wrote my Ph.D. thesis on cognitive film theory (University of Kent, UK, completed 2005) and have worked as a postdoc in experimental cognitive psychology at the University of Copenhagen (2006-2009), Copenhagen Business School (2009-2013), and Lund University, Sweden (2012-2013). My research interests include visual communication and film, visual attention and eye movements, theories and models of emotion, and cultural influences on cognitive processes. At CBS, I teach elective courses on both visual communication and cognitive psychology.

Primary research areas

I currently teach two elective courses on the BA-IMK programme: “Visual Communication” and “Cognition and Communication: An Introduction”.
