I study and teach research methodology and statistics primarily in the field of Health Sciences. My main interest lies in the use and misuse of research methods in general or those specifically related to the field of epidemiology. Examples include my work (in collaboration with others) on testing for baseline differences in randomized trials and on stepped wedge designs. In the near future I am starting a project on the reasons why we use null hypothesis significance testing in science and why we haven't switched to alternatives. In my work as program director of the MSc Health Sciences I focus on creating a culture of inclusion and shared responsibility of lecturers, student, alumni and work field with the aim of improving our program and increasign satisfaction of all stakeholders.
Education
I studied Human Movement Sciences in Groningen, the Netherlands from 1993-1998 and started to work on my PhD at the VU medical Center Amsterdam in 2000. I received my PhD on 'Quality of life of visually impared eldery ' with honors in 2005.
