Dr. Kasia Wezowski completed her PhD at the University of Bristol, one of the top ten universities in the United Kingdom and ranked among the top universities globally (#51 worldwide). Her doctoral research focused on micro-expressions recognition, emotional intelligence, workplace performance, and mental health.
Through a series of empirical studies, she examined the psychological mechanisms underlying micro-expressions processing and its relationship to low mood and cognitive bias. Her work contributes to both theoretical understanding and practical applications of emotion recognition in professional and clinical contexts. Below is a selection of her academic publications arising from this research.
