My current position

I am a happy postdoctoral fellow at the Social & Moral Brain Lab, located in the Department of Experimental Psychology of Ghent University (Belgium). My project, YourMorals, which was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie individual grant for the years 2024-2026, explores the impact of mere presence of others on individuals’ moral preferences during conflictual moral dilemmas. This research uses a unique experimental system that mimics social context through face-to-face interactions, employing hyperscanning (EEG) techniques. In parallel, I developp a standardized and realistic set of moral dilemmas addressing military, environmental, and medical issues to measure ‘real-life’ psychological processes of moral conflicts.

About me

Hello ! I am Eva, and I am a social/cognitive psychologist. Why a slash ? I always believed one couldn’t study individuals’cognitive processes separated from the social environment they occur. I therefore cultivated a scientific background straddling social psychology legacy and cognitive psychology.

While I graduated from a Neuropsychology and Cognitive Psychology Master’s degree (Aix-Marseille Université), I kept reading classical literature in sociology (Bourdieu, Goffman, Becker), social psychology (Tajfel & Turner, Allport, Nisbett..) and actively followed the latest theoretical development in the field (Markus & Kitayama, Fiske…).

Then I defended my Ph.D at Aix-Marseille University, at the Laboratoire de Psychologie Cognitive, in Marseille, France. This work took part in an unprecedented national experimentation, a.ka. the ProFAN project (learn more about this project here).
