Me and a friend found Oscar as our target supervisor back in 2018, and have been working together since then and experienced the harmony lab evolving to a fantastic environment. I am a PhD student in organizational psychology at Oslo Business School at Oslo Metropolitan University. I love well-being and personality research with a quantitative approach, especially with language.
