After a biomedical medicine master and PhD, I am 9 years postdoctoral researcher in public health and psychophysiology. I bridge psychological (stress, eating behaviour), environmental (nature, food environment) and biological factors (obesity, hormones, inflammation, microbiome). I examine the effect of nature on human health (psychological stress, dietary behaviour and biomarkers) via longitudinal studies, lab experiments and interventions in adults and adolescents. The novelty in my latest studies is on the multisensorial nature exposures (including bio-active compounds), a newly tested health outcome (eating behaviour) and the application of nature indoors.

Longitudinal studies, lab experiments or interventions in adults or adolescents studying the effects of nature-based solutions on human health or human behaviour that need expertise in biomarkers, dietary behaviour, stress, or specific nature applications (indoor, multi-sensorial, volatiles, microbiome).
