‘My Research’
My research examines how interactive media shape users’ stress, motivation, and well-being. I study when enjoyable experiences become demanding and how design can support both engagement and restoration.
I use computational and quantitative methods — including EEG, large-scale surveys, and machine learning — to investigate the psychological mechanisms underlying engagement and emotional demand in interactive environments.
