I am a researcher whose work has evolved from studying human emotions and cognition in interactive media to developing a non‑anthropocentric and ecocentric philosophy of media aimed at transforming social imaginaries and challenging the current destructive paradigm. Early in my career, I worked on engineering psychology, affective gaming, and the neuroscience of emotion in video games and VR, designing emotional color scripting and emotionally reactive systems that modulate users’ feelings and presence through parameters such as color, movement, and social interaction.

Building on this foundation, I now explore how media, games, XR, and even our use of the Drake Equation can be reoriented to question human exceptionalism rather than reinforce it, arguing that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations might avoid contact with ecologically immature, self‑destructive societies like ours. Through concepts such as an exopsychological, biocentric contact‑willingness factor and tools like the Non‑Anthropocentric Media Evaluation Questionnaire (NAMEQ), my research seeks to foster ecocentric imaginaries and help reconfigure collective desires away from extractivism and toward multispecies coexistence.
