I conducted my undergraduate studies at Giessen University, Germany, working with Klaus Scherer on the role of vocal cues for nonverbal communication. From there I went to Dartmouth College, NH, USA, where I obtained a PhD in Social Psychology in 1989 working with John Lanzetta and Bob Kleck. The topic of my thesis was "Control of emotion". During my time at Dartmouth I focused not only on social psychophysiology but also took courses in AI, modeling of physiological systems, and systems dynamics. For my post-doc I spent three years at University of Geneva, Switzerland, as Assistant/Maitre Assistant and lecturer at University of Fribourg. From 1992 to 2001 I was assistant/associate professor for the biological bases of human or animal behavior at Laval University in Quebec City, Canada. During my time there I was funded by SSHRC and CRSNG and used video games to study the effect of appraisals on physiological changes. During my time there I hosted the ISRE meeting 2000 with Gilles Kirouac. 2001 to 2003 I was senior lecturer of psychology at Hull University UK and since 2003 I am full professor of psychology at Jacobs University Bremen, Germany. I am currently associate editor of Emotion as well as Biological Psychology. I am on the editorial board of Cognition and Emotion, Journal of Nonverbal Behavior, and until 2009 of British Journal of Social Psychology. I am reviewer for the EU and regularly review articles and grant proposals. in 2010 a book I edited with Nicole Krämer should come out at Cambridge University Press on "Face to face communication on the Internet" I am currently involved in an FP7 large scale IP CYBEREMOTIONS (www.cyberemotions.eu). Specifically, we are looking at collective emotions on the Internet.
