I’m a postdoctoral researcher with a passion for legal psychology, particularly in deception detection and understanding how people assess true and false intentions. My work revolves around strategic interviewing and how specialists judge the veracity of statements in various legal settings, such as high-stakes environments like airports or complex cases like credibility assessments in asylum cases. I’m especially drawn to the challenges innocent suspects face and how biases or limitations in interviewing methods can influence their decisions regarding counter-interrogation strategies. Therefore, a significant part of my research focuses on improving tools and strategies for evaluating credibility effectively and based on scientific evidence. The intersection of deception detection (e.g., techniques and cues) and decision-making in legal settings is fascinating. In this context, I am particularly interested in exploring techniques and cues for detecting deception and truth, how these cues inform decisions about an individual’s credibility, and the broader implications of such judgments on legal processes.
