I am actively engaged in a range of research and publication projects, each detailed on dedicated pages for easy exploration. These sections offer comprehensive introductions to the projects and feature (wiki-style) links to related publications, briefs, reports, and blog posts for those interested in delving deeper. Your thoughts, suggestions, concerns, and questions are immensely valuable to me, and I warmly welcome any feedback or insights you may wish to share!

Since 2018, this ongoing line of research has consistently gathered evidence demonstrating how cognitive biases, operating subconsciously, challenge and undermine the efficacy of established best practices in empathy-based rapport-building.

#EMPIRICAL

 

This research project explores the impact of cognitive biases on the process and quality of Naturalistic Decision-Making. Beyond identifying the challenges, it uncovers opportunities to design better interactions.

#CONCEPTUAL

This research scrutinizes the inherent biases within the existing literature on Conducted Energy Weapons (CEWs), widely known as Tasers in law enforcement circles. It reveals how these biases contribute to blind spots, obscuring the unintended consequences of CEW deployment in actual law enforcement encounters.

#EMPIRICAL #LITERATURE

Our editorial team is currently working on a SpringerGabler volume on police encounters with persons in crisis, to be published in German by the end of the year. This project aims to provide comprehensive insights and analyses in this critical field.
