Short CV

Chris Riddell received his Bachelor's degree with Honours in 2016, from the University of Melbourne, Australia. Shortly after, he moved to the Netherlands to study at the University of Amsterdam. Here, he developed a passion for affective science, and specifically a keen interest in the study of emotion processing. In 2019, he received his Master’s in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, graduating cum laude. In 2020, he began his PhD trajectory in the CoPAN lab at the Cognitive Psychology Unit at Leiden University.
 

Research

Broadly, his work focuses on children's socio-emotional development. He is interested in children's understanding of others' emotions and examines how emotional signals - such as facial expressions, body language, and changes in physiological state - inform the choices children make on a daily basis. He takes an integrative approach to his research: combining physiological data with expert facial expression coding and behavioural economic paradigms. As one of the Dutch Royal Academy of Science’s “Faces of Science”, he is passionate about open science and ensuring the results of his work reach a wide audience.
