My research focuses on human sexuality, with a particular emphasis on understanding the neurophysiology of orgasm in women. My main PhD project is the first to rigorously apply electroencephalography (EEG) to the study of women’s sexual response. Because of the methodological challenges involved, I developed a novel experimental paradigm from scratch, designed to reduce non-neural sources of noise such as muscle contractions, hand movements, and vibrator-related artifacts. To increase ecological validity and participant comfort, data were collected in participants’ homes using a portable EEG system. Alongside this work, I study how psychological factors shape women’s sexual desire and sexual response using intensive longitudinal designs, including daily questionnaires collected over two months. I have applied similar methods to investigate how chronic genital pain interacts with daily mood and sexuality. In addition, I use semi-structured interviews to explore changes in sexuality in trans individuals undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy. Outside the university, I enjoy spending time in nature, practicing different sports such as hiking and surfing. I am also passionate about art, and I enjoy exploring the stories behind artists’ work as a way of connecting with the inner world that shaped their creations.
