I am a developmental cognitive neuroscientist with a passion for the development of social cognition and self-concept in adolescence. Together with members of the SocialSelves Lab which I lead, I want to gain understanding in what characterizes normal development of social cognition and self-concept and their underlying brain mechanisms and how abnormalities in these trajectories may contribute to social functioning difficulties and reduced wellbeing or psychopathology.
Next to these activities, I put great efforts in supporting the development of the next generation of researchers and scientist-practitioners. I am an enthusiastic teacher and educational leader and obtained the University Teaching Qualification, the Senior Teaching Qualification and the Educational Leadership Course (LOL). Currently, I am program director of the Research Master Clinical and Developmental Psychopathology and am part of the coordinating team of the Research Master Cognitive Neuropsychology. Also, I am coordinator and lecturer of the course Neuroimaging (Master Klinische Neuropsychologie (Clinical Neuropsychology) and Trends in Brain and Behaviour (RM Clinical and Develomental Psychopathology). Also, I am a supervisor of both master students and PhD-students and very motivated to coach them with their research and professional development.
