Visiting scientist at the department

Dr Mem Mahmut is a lecturer and researcher in psychology who is the co-Director of the Food, Flavour and Fragrance Lab at Macquarie University, Australia. Dr Mahmut received a Freiraum Fellowship and will be based within our department from July to November to conduct research with Prof. Dr Ilona Croy. The research will investigate the extent each sense (touch, smell, vision, audition) is involved in mate attraction and whether our physical and physiological responses are synchronised when two people are attracted to each other.
