I am a PhD student working on a research project exploring dynamic and multimodal nonverbal emotion expressions. In my research, I have investigated communication of nonverbal emotion expressions, with focus on perception of both single and blended emotions.

Emotion perception (emotion recognition ability) refers to the ability to correctly perceive others' emotion expressions, which can be conveyed vocally, bodily and/or facially. However, previous research on emotion perception has mainly focused on facial emotion expressions – often by using static images, which has limited our understandings of how emotions are expressed and conveyed through different expressive channels, and in turn perceived.

We believe that by including a wide range of different emotions and using dynamic and multimodal emotion expressions where the voice, face, and body is used simultaneously, will give us new insights into the nonverbal communication of emotions.
