Personal profile
Research areas
In my research, I focus on singing as a potential means to improve the lives of people with respiratory diseases. Specifically, I investigate whether singing may provide health-promoting benefits on both physiological and psychosocial parameters and how people with respiratory diseases perceive the impact of singing together with peers. I aim for conduct of multidisciplinary research through which I put my personal and professional, multifaceted competences and experiences into play. I have solid insight into research methodologies across various paradigms and profound skills within concept development and complex project management.
