Personal profile

Personal information

I am intrigued by the development of social cognition. I want to gain understanding in what characterizes normal development of social cognition and underlying brain mechanisms and, ultimately, how abnormalities in these trajectories may contribute to reduced wellbeing or even psychopathology.

Most of my research focuses on how brain mechanisms contribute to inter-individual differences in social cognitive abilities and social functioning in adolescents. In this research, I combine functional MRI during resting-state and behavioral paradigms with hormone assessment, social network measures, and ecological momentary assesment. Additionally, I investigate how ideas and beliefs regarding mental health problems affects social networks and wellbeing in adolescence, for example through peer rejection, or withdrawal. In this research, I make use of ecological momentary assessment and social network measures.

Next to these research activities, I am an enthusiastic teacher and obtained both the University Teaching Qualification and the Senior Teaching Qualification. Currently, I am  coordinator and lecturer of the course Neuroimaging (Master Klinische Neuropsychologie (Clinical Neuropsychology)) and of the course Trends in Brain and Behavior (Research Master Clinical and Developmental 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.
