I am a recent Ph.D. in Social and Personality Psychology. I received my degree in 2011 from the University of California, Irvine and I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Southern California. I am broadly interested in how and why people become good or bad, and how they make decisions about right and wrong in their everyday lives. My current research focuses on morality, romantic attraction and relationships, political ideology, religious beliefs, and cultural differences. I am originally from Bulgaria and, according to my lab mates, I am obsessed with kittens.
