I work as a research associate at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University Psychiatric Clinics in Basel, in the research group of Marc Schmid. I am involved in several projects, including biological and epigenetic follow-up studies of our large JAEL study. My focus also extends to adverse childhood experiences, potentially traumatic life events, and complex PTSD in formerly out-of-home placed children and adolescents from the JAEL study. Additionally, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Clinical and Neurosciences at the University of Basel. My Master's thesis examines digital media use within the family, with a specific focus on the association between parental phubbing and parent-child interaction.
