We welcome Nicola Hohensee as a new member of our research unit and look forward to working with her! Nicola Hohensee is doing her PhD in our working unit since April 2020 and is mainly interested in the relationship between different emotion regulation components and psychopathology in obsessive-compulsive disorder but also in other mental illnesses. For this, she mainly uses everyday app-based longitudinal studies (e.g. Ecological Momentary Assessment designs).
