He joined the Research Group “Self-Regulation and Health” at the Institute for Health and Behaviour - INSIDE in May 2018 and, after a successful application for an AFR-FNR Ph.D. scholarship, he is currently working on his doctoral research project entitled “Sexual Health and Emotion Regulation: investigating a reciprocal relationship” (SHER), under supervision of Prof. Dr. Claus Vögele.

The aim of the research is to investigate the role of emotion regulation in both sexual dysfunctions and sexual satisfaction. The project intends to contribute to the field by 1) investigating the associations between emotion regulation and sexual health, and by 2) developing and evaluating an intervention protocol designed to improve emotion regulation skills for people with sexual dysfunctions.
