Research interests
My research interest is in promoting peoples’ well-being by healthy eating. Health-beneficial changes in eating behaviour are targeted both via reflective and automatic cognitive processes to make healthy choices attractive and easy to excecute. We use for example self-monitoring of behaviours, nudging and virtual reality technolgies to promote healthy eating.
