His previous work has focused on the perception and bodily experience of emotion, as well as physiological stress in autism, schizotypy, and alexithymia. He uses methods such as fMRI, behavioral genetics, and structural equation modeling to better understand interpersonal motivation and interaction in relation to the Big Five and psychopathology.

Alex is interested broadly in the cognitive, motivational and neural processes underlying personality traits, with a particular focus on traits related to Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience.
