As an ideal complement to this, she is also a post-doctoral fellow at the Behavioral Medicine Research Unit and has extensive experience with clinical trials on obesity interventions that examine various treatment approaches (smartphone-supported behavioral therapies, social facilitation maintenance treatment, cognitive remediation therapy, EEG-neurofeedback training). Her PhD thesis was dedicated to weight bias and its internalization in individuals with overweight and obesity. Outside of work, Claudia enjoys spending time with her family in the nature and at the sewing machine.
