I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Glasgow’s School of Psychology and Neuroscience. My research interest lies in how facial expressions can have a role in multimodal communication and facial expression/perception. During my master's, I investigated how the ‘opening’ and ‘closing’ facial expressions can indicate a bigger or smaller number described by a vague quantifier in a multimodal context. During my Ph.D. now, I am investigating how the facial expressions of apology can differ across different cultures and what emotions or social signals these facial expressions comprise. I am also involved in projects relevant to facial expressions for social communication, such as the facial expressions of confidence.
