CV
My research focuses on understanding the temporal dynamics between premenstrual symptoms and psychobiological stress patterns across the menstrual cycle. Furthermore, I am generally interested in broader aspects of female mental health and affective changes throughout the female reproductive life span. My methods include ecological momentary assessment (EMA) as well as meta-analyses and systematic reviews.
