ABOUT ME:

I am a student from the MSc Brain and Cognitive Sciences at University of Amsterdam. I am currently conducting a research internship at LOBI and writing my final master's thesis under the guidance of dr. Marek Wypych, which will be based on analysis of fMRI data from the experiment on learning by rewards and punishments in procrastination. My internship is part of the Erasmus+ traineeship program.

I conducted a research internship under the guidance of dr. Evy van Berlo at the Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics and Artis Zoo from February to July 2022. Under her guidance I wrote my first master's thesis "Underlying mechanism of the decoy bias tested in a virtual foraging task".

I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychobiology in 2021 at the University of Amsterdam. I wrote my bachelor's thesis "The association between baseline glutamate and GABA concentrations in the ACC and remission status in first episode psychosis patients" during my research internship under the guidance of Professor Jean-Paul Selten at GGZ Rivierduinen and Amsterdam University Medical Center.
