Research

When it comes to research, my main interest lies in legal psychology. In this field, I study various psychological aspects relevant to the legal system, such as witness memory performance, the factors that affect their memories, and how best to handle witnesses to facilitate their memory ability. I am also involved in a project that focuses on investigative interviewing, where important skills for establishing communication and rapport are examined. Additionally, I conduct research focusing on attitudes towards increased digitalization and technical systems in various environments such as mines and control rooms.
