Dr. Ryssa Moffat

Dr. Ryssa Moffat is a postdoctoral researcher in the Social Brain Sciences group at ETH Zurich. Her research aims foster social wellbeing for people of all ages. To achieve this, she synthesizes multi-modal data, merging mobile neuroimaging and motion tracking with behavioral and experiential perspectives. By capturing and integrating these diverse streams, she aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms of thriving social connections and develop evidence-based frameworks to bolster social wellbeing across the lifespan.

Ryssa holds a PhD in Cognitive Science, jointly awarded in 2022 by Macquarie University (Australia), and the Universities of Potsdam (Germany), Groningen (Netherland), and Newcastle upon Tyne (UK).

In her free time, Ryssa can be found open-​water swimming, figure skating or surfing.
