Hélène Zillig is a psychologist at the University of Vienna and a research assistant on the RESONATE project, working on the geovisualisation of tested nature-based health interventions. Previously, she conducted research into public support for legislative measures to reduce so-called ‘forever chemicals’ as part of the ZeroPM project. For her Master’s thesis, she examined the role of the day/night cycle and artificial lighting for well-being when visiting natural bodies of water.
