I am a PhD candidate within the Growing Up Together in Society (GUTS) consortium at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (WP1). In my PhD research, I investigate how social and individual factors shape the development of self-regulation in adolescents. To study this, I use a social delay discounting task combined with functional brain imaging (fMRI) to analyze both behavioral and neural patterns.
During my research master’s in Psychology, I specialised in brain & cognition and clinical psychology. This academic background has fuelled my interest in exploring the neural underpinnings of behaviours, particularly through fMRI studies.
In addition to my research, I am a teaching assistant for the NeuroImaging course in the master’s program in Klinische Neuropsychologie.
