I am the Professor of Social Psychology at the TUD Dresden University of Technology. In my group, we study the antecedents and consequences of ambivalence and conflict on (social) decision-making and information processing. We have a particular interest in social behavior and trust, examining how social behavior can cause ambivalence, and how expressing ambivalence influences trust behavior.  We also examine organizational processes, such as leaders and employee relationships and well-being. Finally, we are interested in understanding under what conditions ambivalence leads to positive outcomes like creativity and reduced bias.
 

Check out this podcast or this article for an introduction to ambivalence, and its benefits. If you are a researcher interested in ambivalence, you might want to join the Ambivalence Research Collective, an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars. My scientific work is available here, and my full academic CV is here. More information can also be found on my Google Scholar and Open Science Framework pages.
