Biographical note David Sander studied mathematics and psychology at the University René Descartes (Paris, France), completed postgraduate studies in psychology and cognitive neuroscience, and received a PhD in Cognitive Sciences from the University Louis Lumière (Lyon, France). He then joined in 2002 the Geneva Emotion Research Group in the Department of Psychology at the University of Geneva (Switzerland). He has also been the Scientific Coordinator of the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences since its creation in 2005. David Sander is now Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Geneva where he directs the Laboratory for the study of Emotion Elicitation and Expression (E3 Lab).
