About me

I am dedicated to interdisciplinary studies and my research bridges art and science, exploring the affective connotations of visual properties—like symmetry and curvature—and their applications in visual language, architecture, fashion and design. In 2024, I received the Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten Award for Outstanding Contributions of Young Scientists. 

I am currently a Postdoc at GestaltRevision Lab (KU Leuven), leading the RealIcon project, which investigates how drawing styles shape the comprehension of temporal events in sequential images. I have pioneered research assessing the impact of gender bias on preferences for Abstract Expressionism and explored visual perception within museum contexts. My PhD research explored far peripheral visual space and its artistic representations, revealing how artistic practice can inform scientific investigation.

In 2021, together with Dr Rebekah Dyer, I organised the Text & Image Scheme and curated the resulting collective art exhibition Art as Revelation exploring the cognitive implications of text-inclusive artworks. Since October 2020 I collaborated with Dr Marina Iosifian to create a virtual space facilitating multidisciplinary dialogue around core issues relevant to the Arts. Recording of our ArC seminars are also available on our Youtube channel.

I am one of the co-funders of CREA: Crossroads of Research and Experience of Art. For the inaugural 2024 edition, I created freely accessible visual notes to disseminate CREA's insights with a broad audience, aiming to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world art practices.

I am also an illustrator and videomaker.
