Education
2018-2023
Erasmus University Rotterdam, Leiden University, Amsterdam UMCPhD Candidate
In March 2018, I started my PhD project under supervision of Eveline Crone, Marieke Bos, Arne Popma and Lucres Nauta-Jansen. The aim of my project was to examine mechanisms that underlie (distinct developmental trajectories of) antisocial behavior in emerging adulthood, with a specific focus on the neural correlates of self-concept, vicarious reward learning, social evaluation and aggression regulation.
As part of my training, I teached several courses (Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, School Psychology) and supervised bachelor and (research) master students (Psychology, Neuroscience, Medicine).
I also served as manager of the Lab website and social media of the SYNC lab.
