Biography

A PhD student in the Behaviour Regulation and Change (BRACE) Lab at the Behavioural Science Institute at Radboud University in Nijmegen working with Harm Veling (main advisor/co-promotor) , Rob Holland (promotor) , and Bernd Figner (co-promotor) .

In my PhD project, I aim to increase our understanding confidence in value-based decision-making. The questions that keep me awake at night are:

  • How do people retrieve value-information when they make a decision?
  • How does this retrieval of information relate to people’s confidence in their decisions? This is, what does high or low confidence in VBD reflect?
  • Why are people confident about some choices while they are uncertain of others?

Aside from working on my dissertation, I also enjoy working on my skills in statistics, statistical modelling and programming (R and python). Moreover, I am an enthusiast of open science, open access, open source and open bars.

Interests

  • Social, Experimental and Cognitive Psychology
  • (Bayesian) Statistics
  • Research Methods
  • Open Science

Education

  • MSc in Behavioural Science, 2017
