Assistant Professor of Psychology
About
Additional Research Interests: Psychological well-being
I am a faculty member at the Personality and Social Contexts area, the Department of Psychology, University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I graduated with a PhD at the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. After that, I have worked as a European Commission Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Kassel in Germany, as an Academy Research Fellow at the Aalto University School of Science, Finland, and as a senior researcher at the University of Giessen, Germany.
My research draws from personality, positive, and organizational psychology, as I explore adult psychological growth that can emerge from struggles with work and life adversities. In addition, I explore the meaning of wellbeing in the context of adversarial life circumstances and the strategies and resources that foster people's wellbeing in such situations.
