Research

About me

I obtained a PhD in Neuroscience from the VU University Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Before coming to Linköping, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University and Rutgers University in the USA. My previous research has given me expertise in brain mechanisms of reward, and in cognitive functions such as response inhibition and decision-making.

My future goal is to develop myself as an independent scientist with a research program studying how the brain orchestrates higher-order behaviors and cognition. I am particularly interested in how these processes get disturbed when people suffer from mental disorders or neurological diseases.

When not at work, I like to spend time in the outdoors (running, hiking, biking and kayaking), do yoga/go to the gym, or hang out with my family and friends for a movie or a board game.
